Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 2 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en Yelp (San Francisco, CA) en ene 2015
Entrevista
I directly contacted a recruiter for an advertised position and got an answer quickly. I was invited for a first short interview with a tech-recruiter (20 min, just some very general questions about my background) and another phone conversation with an engineer (25 min, also still very relaxed, mainly about my background and interests). I was not asked the "typical" questions mentioned here before.
After that I was scheduled for a technical interview over Skype:
- Lasted around 60 min (including a 30 min code exercise with coderpad)
- 5 min on background
- 15 min general tech questions (what happens when you type in a URL into your browser, data structures/ implementation and use, database)
- 30 min code exercise
- another 10 min to ask questions
Overall very pleasant interview process. Nothing unexpected, the questions were not particularly hard, but I was not perfectly prepared.

Data structures, hash map, web technologies (make sure to understand this, since Yelp is a web company), search algorithms, code exercise
Leetcode style interview online via link, then a 1 on 1 technical interview with a lead developer also online where you can ask questions about the role and working at yelp, later more in depth technical tests and finally references and psicological tests.

Entrevista
Very intense. 4 back to back 45 minute interviews. One behaviour and four technical interviews.
Nice people but got the vibe everyone was happy with the work as it wasn’t too challenging.
