I applied through university. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
The first round was an easy phone interview. Most the questions test your basic knowledge about data structures, algorithms, dbms, OS, memory etc. The next round is a Skype interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The phone interview included HR questions such as why Yelp? and what do you expect out of an internship?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2021
Interview
It's a good interview process. I felt welcomed and it was an enjoyable process. It's a well-built interview that you can clearly see the skills they are looking for and how they help Yelp. My one issue is that they can take a while to get back to you between interviews.

Question 1
They are all questions relating to yelps business (review scores, user tracking, etc.)
I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp in Sep 2020
Interview
As far as I went, first step was taking a coding assessment of 30 minutes. It was not too challenging but the problem was about Yelp's actual daily topics which made it more interesting. Then there was a prescreen interview which was well arranged and gave a lots of insights about the company.
