Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (Washington, DC)
Interview
The process began with a normal phone screen - however, there are logic questions that are thrown at you as well. Was then invited to the DC office for the next round of interviews, which was approximately 4.5 hours long. Why so long? Beats me. You're thrown through a basic presentation over the course of an hour in regards to what Yext does. The person who presented to us seemed less than thrilled to be doing so and kept repeating her job title over and over making sure to mention she only works with one client. I thought her attitude would change over the course of the day, but she remained uninterested and tried to counter anything that anyone said. You then have 30 minutes to prepare two presentations which involve suggesting changes to client web pages and how Yext's services can "better them". After lunch there are two 45 minute behavioral interviews. The people I spoke with were lovely and easy to get along with. I ended the day in their end of week meeting...at the end of which no one thanked me for coming or even shook my hand.
Applied through handshake, and received a fairly prompt interview scheduling request. Very minimal communication was provided by the recruiter (no initial phone screening or info call). Interview was 45 min long with a current ATPM, who was based in DC. Found out at that point that this position was for that office (my search parameters on handshake were for NYC based companies), and that it housed only ~100 employees. Interview consisted of behavioral and market sizing questions; was told to expect next steps. After emailing my recruiter with some questions about relocation - which was not answered - was sent a rejection letter for the position.

Interview
The interview process was lovely. They had a casual dinner with Yext employees the night before a full day of several back to back interviews. Breakfast & lunch were included the second day, in which we were given a presentation from company executives and then had to prepare a case study based on the presentation.
