I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Yext
Interview
First round interview was a one hour video call with coding and went straight into technical, nothing asked about background or major or past experiences. Interviewer was not helpful in coding, and was quiet most of the time, not a conversation. Two questions that took most of the time and not that much time left for questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yext (New York, NY) in Oct 2017
Interview
I had an on-campus interview and an on-site, 4 round interview. The first interview was a 30 minute behavioral interview, the 2nd was a debugging interview, and the third and fourth were the usual coding interviews. HR was pretty nice and accommodating. 2 of my four interviewers seemed like stereotypical , unsociable tech guys while the other two were rather nice.
