      Software Engineering Manager Interview

      Feb 23, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Feb 2016

      Interview

      Applied online and was contacted by HR. After initial discussion with HR, I was sent a online coding problem to be solved. Once that was completed, HR setup interview with an Engineering Manager. What was odd is that a interviewer was from mobile engineering while I applied for web development, so he would answer very little of my technical queries. Questions asked included general background questions, why I wanted to make the change, behavioral questions and a collaborative coding challenge. Personally I felt confident after the interview, however HR never contacted me after it which can mean only one thing. My negative experience is with how HR ended it. There was no response even to my follow-up emails. Total ignorance which is very unprofessional. It does not take long to respond with a simple thank-you-but-no-thank-you.

      Software Engineering Manager Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yelp in Sep 2024

      Interview

      The Yelp recruiters were so lovely in the first round. Made it to 2nd round interview stage with the engineering managers from other teams which was scheduled for 45 mins back to back with 5 Interviewers (separate), all read from a script of questions, often the same questions repeated over again, each rushed through the interview, said no time to chit-chat, no greetings or warmth from any of them - yikes! No goodbye or indication of next step like all well-practiced/good hiring team would do, it's only good manners! The whole interview process was not nice, you guys need to be better at the interview stage, you are also being interviewed, remember that!

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Yelp (London, England) in Jun 2023

      Interview

      2nd round online, interviewer seemed a little set on a few questions and didn't progress well beyond that. Interviewer was a little disengaged and it came across. They seemed to be looking for someone of a particular type - perhaps younger and more pliable
