1. Hackerrank
2. Phone Screen with recruiter
3. Technical phone screen with engineer
On the technical phone screen, the engineer had a heavy accent and it was very hard to understand him, was on his phone the whole time, and didn't really give any pointers. The pointers that he did give derailed me from my original solution and eventually I ran out of time.
I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (London, England) in Mar 2021

Interview
First I was given a fairly simple hacker rank question to be completed in 20 minutes. Then the next step was to complete a 45 minute video interview over coderpad. The first time the call was scheduled, they sent me a faulty coderpad link, so I had to reschedule it. The second time the call was scheduled, my interviewer didn't show up. Overall I don't know what it is, but terrible interview experience that just wasted my time.

Question 1
The hacker rank was a pretty easy string/json parsing question.
