I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
The interview process was very easy, a short phone interview followed by a brief onsite (2 weeks from initial phone interview to hire). Everyone was friendly and attentive to my timeline as a candidate. The onsite was very well organized with a tour of the office followed by meeting with two hiring managers. I found they were testing my communication skills and resilience more than anything as the job can be hard at times when dealing with difficult individuals.

Question 1
They asked me to leave a fake voicemail which was interesting but not incredibly difficult
I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (Portland, OR) in Jun 2026
Interview
Disorganized and confusing. The recruiter seemed to be discontented and discouraging on every level and for an unknown reason. I don't even know why she bothered to call me. Aspiring to continue my graduate psychology education (in two years) was a negative in her eyes even though human psychology drives motivations and teaches selling techniques that are advantageous in this field. One should be allowed to explore their future options in life without being penalized in an interview for an entry level job that the entire online community says is toxic and not worth the trouble.
Very intense and I’m great at sales and they seemed to dislike my very friendly attitude. I think they want more aggressive tactics, even though I’ve been a top seller at my other companies.
