I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (Durham, NC) in Oct 2018
Interview
I met a recruiter at the career fair, had an OCI the next day. The OCI was 1-on-1 with an engineer and involved 2 technical questions as well as some resume review. After I passed the OCI, I had one final virtual interview with an engineer, which involved 1 technical question and some resume review. Offer was given after that.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given a matrix of characters and a target string, return a boolean indicating if you can make the target string by moving in a snake pattern throughout the matrix (i.e. only up, down, left, right), without using the same matrix entry more than once.
For the Yext Software Engineering Internship, the first round interview was a technical Interview with one debugging question and one leet code style programming question, plus the opportunity to ask questions at the end. Second-round interviews are usually behavioral.
I just did the first round but it was a first round technical and then more after. I think it is technical, then another 2 technicals and then behavioral final.
Very chill, interviewers were helpful, 2 technicals and a behavioral. The first round was 2 problems, one leetcode and one debugging. The second round was one problem, the third round was behavioral.
