I applied through university. I interviewed at Yelp in Apr 2017
Interview
Yelp came by my school for a job fair. I handed in my resume and a recruiter contacted me. They sent a challenge question that needed to be finished in 15 minutes. It was quite hard given the time constraint. Then came a 45 minute interview with an engineer. I passed that and then had a final round of two interviews back to back. One with an engineer and then a manager.

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
Interview
Around 3 different rounds with a mix of behavioural and technical. Last round features on-site which lasts the whole day, where there are 2 dsa rounds, 1 system design round and 1 recruiter round to end the day.
