I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Yext in Sep 2020
Interview
Met at a campus job fair and had a technical interview soon after that. 2 more rounds, 1 technical and one not. Technical rounds weren't too tricky. Everything was over Zoom due to covid. Got a call a while later with an offer.
I had a one on one technical interview for the first round. My interviewer gave me a debugging question and a coding question. If there is some time at the end, you can ask questions to your interviewer.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yext
Interview
It was fairly straightforward: I had two technical interviews (one in person, one on the phone) then one behavioral, and the questions were on standard CS concepts. The interviewers were very friendly and the recruiter was very helpful and quick to respond via email.
