I applied online. I interviewed at Yext in Dec 2021
Interview
Three rounds of interviews for DC office - two technical followed by behavioral questions. First one involves finding and fixing bugs within the code - missed one but was able to pass this round. Second round was a more standard leetcode question involving BFS (shortest path within matrix from two designated point with restrictions - i.e. some cells that cannot be visited). Third one was a behavioral round with getting to know you questions. Nothing too tricky except for "What do you like to talk about?", to which I responded with a very niche/uncommon interest not related to work which probably wasn't what the interviewer was expecting. I felt that it could have been better to come prepared talking about something relatable and work-related - but I was able to pass.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (Budapest) in Feb 2025
Interview
The process was okay, some basic software engineering questions in the beginning, then a few harder questions regarding the tools they are using. There was no live coding, they were most interested in theory.
3 rounds: first round is 30 minutes debugging some example code, 30 minutes for 1 leetcode medium. Second round is 1 hour, mainly focused on querying APIs and processing responses. Third round 30 minute behavioral.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yext in Sep 2023
Interview
Two technical interviews, followed by a final behavioral interview. The first technical interview involved two questions surrounding debugging while the second focused on API information retrieval. The final behavioral interview was different than regular behavioral interviews, as the questions were really unique and were not the typical give me three answers using the STAR method.
