      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in May 2019

      Interview

      The first step is an online assessment. It was one question with 20 minutes available to complete it. Not much preparation required if you know your stuff. The second step was a video interview using Codility. The interviewer asked me to talk about myself, and then we went on to working on an algorithmic question. The next and final step was an onsite interview with four different interviewers.
