I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Oct 2013
Interview
First applied through campus career fair, contacted by recruiter who did a phone screen, followed by a 45 minute Skype technical interview about a month later with an engineer.
Did not advance past first technical interview.
Phone Screen:
Phone screen recycles questions already on Glass Door. Recruiter is non-technical and is only looking for the correct answer. Gives typical behavioral questions followed by knowledge based questions.
Skype Technical Interview:
Skype interviewer was helpful and friendly, provided you with the answer if you couldn't figure it out, and if you're stumped, gives hints to possible solutions without giving it away.
Behavioral:
Why Yelp?
If you could do anything at Yelp, what would you do?
Yelp throws a Hackathon 3 or 4 times a year (gives additional details about the contest), what would you submit?
What is the most difficult project that you've worked on?
Knowledge based
What's the difference between TCP and UDP?
What's your favorite programming language? Why?
What are some disadvantages of that language?
Explain in detail the steps/processes that occur from the moment you type a URL in a browser and hit enter.

Fue un proceso de varias rondas. Incluyendo entrevistas técnicas y de cultural fit. Además también hubo una prueba técnica online enviada por el recruiter. El proceso fue rápido y en todo momento estuve informado sobre su avance y desarrollo.
