I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
Interview process involved 3 rounds.
1st round: phone screen
2nd round: single interview
3rd round: skills assessment and panel interview
Overall, the interviews were very pleasant and everyone at the company was friendly. Not many difficult probing questions, it was evident that the interviewers just wanted a sense of your personality and how you like to think.

Question 1
How would you tackle a problem that you don't know how to solve and have never encountered before?
The interview process was very straight forward and efficient with clear communication from the recruiter at each stage. The technical assessment was an Excel take home assessment, which was open book.

Question 1
Tell me about the most challenging project you've worked on.
Started with a writing test, the prompt: Please write down detailed directions for your new neighbor so they can drive to your house for a party. Then spoke with multiple people across different teams.
Hiring team fails to inform you throughout the interview process and doesn’t reply to emails. Very unprofessional for a company of that size. They completely ghost on you to inform you of anything.
