I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY) in Oct 2021
Interview
I thought the interview process went very well. Not only did it include being interviewed by managers on the team, but it also included a task to be completed that resembled part of what you would be doing as a BDR on the team. I also enjoyed how the final part of the interview process was getting a chance to speak with a member of the BDR team to gain more insight into what the day to day would be like.

How would you describe Yext to a parent/grandparent?
Overall an easy interview process. You'll meet with the recruiter and then hiring manager, after that a presentation interview. Once you wrap up that, you'll hear back from the recruiter if they want to send an offer. Follow the prompts and work closely with your recruiter.
