I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
The recruiter get in touch with me after two month since career fair. The frist round is simple phone screening by HR, with a couple of questions concerning CS basic concepts. After two days, I was notified to take the second round of coding interview in two weeks. In the second round, the interviewer first asks my background, and ask that how can I apply my skill in yelp. Then comes with the coding interview, the question is not so difficult. But I stuttered for a while. Didn't get the offer at last, as expected.
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.
