I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yext in Oct 2022
Interview
First round is two technical questions: I got tree debugging and valid tic tac toe state. Second round is another technical, asking you to design something a bit complicated with OOP and talking through your decisions. I was expecting leetcode style questions and not complicated OOP, so I did not do great and got rejected. The recruiter gets back to you quickly with your rounds and their decisions, but waiting for the actual interviewers to find time in their schedules to interview you and give you a slot may take up to 1.5 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Second round OOP technical: Design a leaderboard given a bunch of data from an API. Explain your thought process, identify edge cases, etc.
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.
