Yelp interview questions

The interview process was simple and straightforward. You have two phone call interviews. They ask you about your experience and what your knowledge is about Yelp. You will also be asked to do roleplay and see how well you do when sticking to a script and if you ask the right questions.

I applied for a fullstack engineering role and completed the interview process. After finishing the final step including a four hour final interview I was told the team would get back to me soon. They sent an email later on saying that timelines were changing and I had to be more patient. They sent a couple of these emails over two months reminding me that they hadn’t forgotten me. Eventually, I was invited to speak with the hiring manager, which felt more like a casual conversation than a decision-making step. After that, there was silence for another two weeks. When I finally followed up, I received an email saying they had closed the position. No explanation was given for the long delay or why they interviewed people for a role they weren’t sure they’d fill. It was incredibly frustrating to invest time and emotional energy into a process that ended with the role being canceled.
