I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
I was contacted regarding a certain internship position at the San Francisco office. They requested that I provide my availability for a quick phone screen sometime in the coming days. I responded quite promptly, and never heard back from them. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I decided to wait 5 days before sending them an email asking something along the lines of "Hey, are we going to have this phone screen?" No response, of course. I very much so hate that I had to resort to this, but I did some research, found the number to their front desk, and decided to give them a call. After being put on hold, I was told that HR wouldn't be able to take my call. Honestly, Yelp Recruiting team, all I needed to hear from you was a simple "no." I don't care if you found somebody else or if you changed your mind about conducting a phone screen with me. Please inform me! Leaving any candidate completely in the dark is immensely unprofessional.
The Yelp Recruiting team will have tons of trouble attracting top talent if they can't get it together and make sure all candidates (interns or C-level) have a pleasure and professional experience.
Easy and fratty atmosphere
Was not my vibe but good for someone
Not a fan of bro culture but wasn’t too bad
Great office with really nice views I like being downtown
Super easy! Interviewers were super calm and it became very conversational. They just want to get to know you and make sure that you think it’s a good role for you!
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in May 2014
Interview
Mock cold calls, then they would tell you how to improve and you would run through again. Other basic interview questions included but the mock cold calls were certainly the hardest part
