      Software Engineer Intern Interview

      Apr 10, 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I contacted a recruiter and sent my resume to her. I was then contacted with an initial phone screening. Screening had a few behavioural questions (Why yelp, 3 things looking for in an internship etc) and a series of easy technical questions, all of which can be found on glassdoor. I was told immediately at the end of the call that I passed and then moved on to a skype interview. Interviewer was a little unprepared because my original interviewer got pulled for a meeting last minute. She picked some knowledge based questions to ask me based on my resume (sql questions, pros and cons of Java, C, C++). Coding question was a little tricky but if you know your data structures its not hard. They are just looking for the most efficient way to solve the problem. I didnt code the most efficient way but then when asked if I could make it better I thought of a better way and told her. I passed that round and then moved on to two back-to-back skype interviews. First one was tough as it was with a manager. He grilled me on my past experience and asked two technical questions along with a coding question. Second interview went really well with an engineer working under that manager. Asked me a mix of behavioural and technical questions along with a coding question. Im pretty sure I wowed the engineer but not the manager. I got both of the coding questions right. I didnt move on from there though but overall great experience and extremely friendly interviewers.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 3

      # List of tickets, in the form (origin, destination) ORIGINAL_TICKETS = [ ('SFO', 'LAX'), ('LAX', 'JFK'), ('JFK', 'LHR'), ('LHR', 'CDG'), ('CDG', 'DXB'), ('DXB', 'HKG'), ('HKG', 'HAM'), ] Write a function which given the original origin, find the final destination. Then write a function that would find both the original origin and final destination with only access to that ticket list. Finally write a function that finds a missing ticket given the original origin and final destination.

      I applied through university. I interviewed at Yelp (Boston, MA) in Feb 2017

      Interview was smooth. They have a nice system to accept code for the coding problems and their technical questions were reasonable. No complains overall, I would recommend them for sure.
