I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (Washington, DC) in Oct 2022
Interview
Interviewed for the Summer 2023 internship. I was invited for the first technical interview without OA after resume screening. Extremely positive experience with both SWE engineers I interviewed with during technical rounds. The last behavioral round was a bit unpleasant since questions were quite uncomfortable. The interview started from "What is the most difficult situation you have been through at your time in college?". I received an internship offer after a few days post interview in early November, yet it got rescinded over a call in January without any explicit reasoning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1st technical round - 1 medium Leetcode problem 2nd technical - one easy task working with API/JSON
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.
