I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Yelp (New York, NY) in Apr 2015
Interview
First an lady mailed me about the steps of the future interviews. Then a HR made the phone screen for me and asked about the background and the area that I wanted to do. I was expecting to do frontend jobs but there is no room for a new grad students on that. They were just hiring data analyze guys. After the interview, I was asked to do an online test on Hackerrank.
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.

Question 1
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.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
Interview
Around 3 different rounds with a mix of behavioural and technical. Last round features on-site which lasts the whole day, where there are 2 dsa rounds, 1 system design round and 1 recruiter round to end the day.
