Absolutely terrible. Question was extremely easy, and interview was supposed to be language agnostic, but when the interview started, they listed 4 languages, none of which I knew. They posted their code and tried to make me debug it. The code itself was very simple and I could understand the overall gist of it, but when debugging the code, I was running into problems related to the problem itself (syntax etc). Half-way through the interview I asked the interviewer if I could do the question in a language I knew. He said sure, so I typed out all of their template code they gave me, including test cases, by myself. When I finally started typing out the solution in my own language, it took me less than 10 minutes. The interviewer was beyond useless, absolutely terrible. Didn't help at all besides occasional yes and no to my questions. Interview was basically a joke

Question 1
Debug balancing a binary tree. They'll give you pre-written code you need to fix
The first round of interview is one hour long which covers one technical interview question and one debugging question. The second round is around 2 hours with more coding questions.
I first met with a Yext recruiter at my colleges online career fair, submitted my resume and submitted my job application. I was accepted and then had two technical interviews and then a behavioral interview. They were all about a week/ two weeks apart and scheduled around 5 days beforehand.

Question 1
The first question I was asked at my first coding interview was where I was given a grid that had pantries and had to find the shortest path to get to a pantry.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yext in Sep 2020
Interview
Everything was a normal interview process until there was one round of technical. The guy I had interviewing me was a software engineering but he was not welcome at all. I asked him a question about clarification of a problem and he did not even reply.
