I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Sept 2013
Interview
Was interviewed by a PM on the phone. Started off introducing each other, talked about what the position entails (pure analytics vs more coding role), what I had been working on recently, etc. Overall I felt it was not a very rigorous interview and felt more like screening, but based on the interaction (which was fine) I thought I was going to at least get an on-site interview, which did not happen. I don't think I performed terribly but I think they simply had more candidate(s) ahead of me.

Question 1
The difference between Bayesian vs frequentist statistics
The interview process consists of three rounds. The first is a phone screening, followed by a second round focused on technical skills with Python and SQL. The final round includes meetings with other data scientists, product managers, and the hiring manager.

Question 1
Can you define the metrics of success for some events?
I applied online. Few days later, a first interview was arranged with the HR, which should have been followed by a technical interview. Unfortunately I didn't continue with the process.
