I thought the interview process was short, but quite efficient. The hiring managers were quick and communicative, and I received notification about the status of my applications quickly. I will say that it felt a bit impersonal given it was a phone call, and would have preferred a virtual interview, but it was ok.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Apr 2012
Interview
Applied online and had a half hour phone interview.
Several days later, I had an in person interview.
I was told I'd get to do a writing test as the next part in the process, but then was told I didn't get the job.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
Very simple 30 min remote interview. Asked decent questions but the job itself didn't seem appealing. They started with salary and asked me to confirm if I would like to move forward with the interview based on the salary.

Question 1
Are you familiar with Yelp? Are you familiar with your area? What is your favorite restaurant?
The Yelp Community Manager interview process consisted of 1 phone conversation with the hiring manager, a zoom with the hiring manager, extensive writing test and final zoom interview with another team member. All of the interviews were about 30 minutes or less, and I found them really casual and easier than at many other large corporate organizations I've interviewed with. I found that I didn't learn very many details about the role until the final interview, it was very candidate focused.
