yelp’s phone interview experience… I submitted my resume for the front-end 18 summer intern position at the end of March during the campus recruitment. In mid-April, I received an email with a link to a 15-minute coding challenge. Due to being busy, I procrastinated until almost the end of April to complete it. The challenge was to find the most common prefix of strings, as found on Glassdoor. After finishing it, I replied to the email and was asked to list my available times within the next 3 weeks. An interview was scheduled for 5/9, from 1-1:45 pm. The interviewer was a Caucasian man who started with common questions like why Yelp, what I liked most about Yelp, and if I had any suggestions for Yelp. He then asked about the details of the projects on my resume. Later on, I realized that the front-end position was not available, only full-stack. After the interview, I was given a coding question where I had to identify invalid links within a bunch of web pages. Each link had different responses, such as 404 for not found. I had only 10 minutes and although I had ideas, I couldn’t run the code. The interviewer was kind and provided hints. In the last 5 minutes, he asked me to simplify the question to focus on finding all links within a single web page, turning it into a substring problem. I managed to write the substring function, but I felt like I probably did not pass the interview. The interviewer reassured me that there were no front-end positions available at the moment. He thought my projects were good and suggested I consider applying for a design role instead, though I believe it was just a polite gesture. That was the general experience.
