I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
I got the interview by participating a kaggle competition hosted by Yelp. There is one code test followed by a phone interview, and then they told me that I was declined. The position might be associated with image processing, with which I am not very familiar. They ask questions about machine learnung, algorithm and also image processing, including deep learning.

Question 1
The code test is an easy problem and there are a lot of languages you can choose to solve it. I used Python. For the phone interview, they asked me a lot of details about my solution to that kaggle problem, then some machine learning questions, and then let me write code in Python to randomly shuffle a string.
Leetcode style interview online via link, then a 1 on 1 technical interview with a lead developer also online where you can ask questions about the role and working at yelp, later more in depth technical tests and finally references and psicological tests.

Talk about the project you are the most proud of, why do you want to work at yelp
Very intense. 4 back to back 45 minute interviews. One behaviour and four technical interviews.
Nice people but got the vibe everyone was happy with the work as it wasn’t too challenging.
