Interview
The interview process went pretty well. I did an initial phone interview where I was asked questions on what attracted me to Yelp. After that, I was invited for a in person interview. The first 30 minutes was an overview of the company and what to expect on a daily basis. After that I met with a sales manager and I had to pitch the Yelp services to him. Then I received an email about next steps and when I would potentially start.
