I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Jan 2014
Interview
They ask some basic questions regarding integer values, linux commands and http protocols.
you need to be confident in order to pass. it last about 25 minuetes for me and sometimes its hard to understand the questions. you need to think first and then reply.

three questions regarding linux commands! as i'm not familiar with them, i couldnt reply.
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.

Question 1
Talk about the project you are the most proud of, why do you want to work at yelp
Very intense. 4 back to back 45 minute interviews. One behaviour and four technical interviews.
Nice people but got the vibe everyone was happy with the work as it wasn’t too challenging.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in May 2025
