      Software Engineering Interview

      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      I applied for a role in the infrastructure team. I was contacted by a recruiter to do a 15 minute hacker rank. The problem description was long, so be careful and make sure you understand it. Following that, I had a 45 minute technical interview with an engineer. We talked about Yelp, my background, and he asked some general questions about scaling. I then answered a technical question on a live coding link. Following this stage, I had 2 final 45 minute interviews with an engineering manager and an engineer that were similar in format. Two weeks later, I got an offer.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Yelp

      Interview

      I applied for the data mining position. Started with a Hackerrank challenge. Then a Skype screen (45 minutes, talked about resume, NLP related questions about categorizing reviews and did a coding question). Finally two back to back 45 minute long Skype interviews, same as the phone screen. The process took quite a while with some difficulty with availability initially. However the recruiters were always flexible with rescheduling.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      If restaurant categories have integer IDs and some can be marked as duplicates of others, design a library to store and retrieve such duplicate sets. If you query an ID it should return the smallest duplicate. You should be able to mark duplicates etc.
