Yelp Interview Questions

I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA (US)) in February 2016.

Interview

3 interviews via Skype. First with technical RH director. Two with iOS engineers.
I sent my resume via an employee met via LimkedIn. Two days later I received a reply to plan a first interview. I succeed, and I received an email to plan two technical interviews via Skype. They were very friendly.

I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (Los Angeles, CA (US)) in March 2019.

Interview

The interview was a phone interview and it definitely was not what I expected. From what I read here on Glassdoor, they ask you what seems to be situational questions or ask basically about what ideas you could bring to the role. The interviewer first asked me about how I became an Elite, which I am not an elite and she was obviously looking at someone else's role and kind of had to snowball off that question asking me how I got involved with using Yelp? Kind of weird. Next was just about my current position which and last how did I find out about the role? That was pretty much it. It was really odd. She didn't talk about what they were looking for in the role at all, just what was required like attending events or working remotely. She didn't even have me attempt any writing portion. I did not get to share a single idea but it seemed like she went with the person who's application she mistook mine for (the Elite) and set a really weird tone that threw me off for the rest of the interview.

Interview

After the phone screening the asked me back for a second in-person interview which they cancelled. Then I spoke with a manager who ended the call midway through. Interview questions themselves were fairly easy, everything went smoothly. Both interviewers noted that they would get back to me within the week. I never received an email back from either interviewer and was ignored when I followed up twice. Wasn't a pleasant interview experience and was very frustrated to have never gotten any response.

Interview

Applied online. A regional manager reached out to me via e-mail and arranged a skype interview. After that, I was moved along to the writing test which had 3 questions. Then had 3 more skype interviews with another senior community manager and senior executives in the community department. Overall, it was a great experience and everyone I spoke to seemed to love working for Yelp.

Interview

I applied online through LinkedIn. Within a day or two, I had a request for a phone interview the following week. The phone interview was easy going, and I felt it was about verifying I was who I said I was in my cover letter and resume. My cover letter was a hit, and probably got me the first interview. I was asked to interview in person within two weeks with a regional director who traveled to our city. This interview was in a local restaurant, and was also fairly easy going, and included the current CM. I came very prepared and even provided questions and answers they had not considered. I was asked to attend an elite event for that happened to be the next day, late that evening by email. After the elite event, I was scheduled for a skype interview with another higher up (VP of Marketing, I believe) the following week. That interview was not as easy going, and included questions about my city, my experience in my current position, and what I would do for my first elite event as CM. The process slowed a bit here - one week of decision making, then another week with decision makers on vacation. Three days into the following week (approx 2.5 weeks later), I received an email stating they had offered the position to someone else. Over all this was a in depth, pleasant experience which I felt was very relevant for the position.

Interview

The process will take a few rounds of interviews with a regional director and perhaps another. My experience involved a conversational interview with questions about how I see myself working in the position and what I might want to contribute. General questions like how my past positions will help me reach my goals, etc. The hiring process depends on how quickly they are looking to fill the position. My position was an immediate hire.

Interview

I applied online and later contacted to conduct a phone interview. A few days after that, I was asked to have a Skype interview (with same person), complete a writing test, and then I spoke with another senior level regional manager over the phone.

The CM position is a remote roll, so all interviews were held over the phone or Skype. The hiring manager was very communicative via email and kept me in the loop through the entire process. I did go about 2 weeks without hearing anything back, but that was over Christmas.

Interview

I applied online and was contacted by a regional manager to have a phone interview. The conversation went well and I was advanced to the writing sample round of the interview process, but I withdrew to pursue an opportunity elsewhere. I got the impression that the workload would be very heavy and that there would be very long work hours. This isn't something I'm looking for at this point in my career.

Interview

After applying online received an email request for a phone interview with the Regional Manager. The first phone interview was casual and seemed to be she was gathering information on my background, interests and fit for position. Was then contacted by a Community Manager of another state for a Skype interview. More in-depth questions but kind of quick and casual. Both were very friendly and didn't ask anything that was difficult to answer.
