I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Jun 2015
Interview
Applied via employee referral and heard from HR about 2 weeks later to set up a phone interview. The phone interview lasted about 20 minutes. Very casual, low stress, typical phone screen interview. Trying to get a feel for your personality, see if you would be a good fit in a sales role, see how you take advice and if you are coachable. After the interview was complete I was told I was going on to the next round of interviews and would hear from HR shortly. I then set up an appointment for a Skype interview for the next week. The first part of the interview was with a hiring manager and the second was with a sales executive. Both were really great to talk to, great conversation, again low stress. Had to do a role play in all of my interviews. Was asked many situational questions and not too much about my background, more about why I was interested in working for Yelp, why I would be a good candidate, etc.

Interview
Very professional, informative, and timely interview process. I was very impressed with how well put together the entire process was and how fast things moved. Everyone on the hiring team was extremely punctual and even willing to take extra time to make sure all your questions are answered.

Question 1
One question they asked during my interview was what specifically about the role made me feel it was a strong fit for my background and experience.
The interview process with Yelp was a very organized experience. From the first email after I put in my application, to the offer extension call, I always felt well informed and included.
