I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in May 2021
Interview
The interview process involved doing a online challenge.
After this I was invited for an online technical screen.
I was then invited for an onsite of 4 rounds.
The recruiter said he would get back to me in 1 week. First of all he emailed me in 2 weeks saying I have an update and would like to tell you about where we are in the process and also an update from your side. Asked for a time to call and then never called. 2 days later he sent a rejection. HORRIBLE AND LAZY RECRUITER. Horrible experience with the point of contact. Hope they hire competent recruiters who at least value their candidates time and efforts.

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.
