I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
There was a phone conversation with a recruiter, a Skype call with a product manager, and an onsite interview. The onsite interview was around 2 hours long, with 4 30 minute conversation. I despise it when interviewers try to condescend and/or don't pay attention to me when I'm responding. I am, why else are you there, interviewer? I have been to several PM interviews before and this one was the least interesting and most annoying.
I should have known, since most of the interview experiences on Glassdoor for similar positions were negative.
Yelp, maybe you should use data to create better interview processes.

Question 1
Showed me a random page on Yelp and asked me how I would use it. This interview probably doubled as a usability study for this interviewer. Then, in the last 5 minutes, asked me how I would redesign it.
1 recruiter call then 1st round with 3 back to back interviews and final round with also 3 back to back interviews
Consisted of case study, technical round, and hiring manager round
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp in Feb 2025
Interview
Their interview process is low quality. When interview schedule was updated, the interviewer’s name and position should have been as well, but that did not happen. As a result, I ended up meeting with someone from a different function who did not clarify the reason behind. It was a shock because it completely changes my preparation for types of answers. This person was yawning, distracted by surrounding environment, and probably responding to chats on the side also.
Interviewers answers to my questions were vague and lacked relevance.
Not sure if the company's solving customer problems or if it is more focused on leveraging collected data for company growth only.

Question 1
Specific question for the role aiming to achieve its advertised feature. But, it's almost too specific (because this interviewer was engineering lead) and forcing to disclose logics and implementations happening at my current work.
was good. the interviewer was kind. I felt appreciated. I would try this out again but I was only looking for a competitive over to take back to my current employer.
