      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2021

      Interview

      It's a good interview process. I felt welcomed and it was an enjoyable process. It's a well-built interview that you can clearly see the skills they are looking for and how they help Yelp. My one issue is that they can take a while to get back to you between interviews.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They are all questions relating to yelps business (review scores, user tracking, etc.)

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp in Sept 2020

      Interview

      As far as I went, first step was taking a coding assessment of 30 minutes. It was not too challenging but the problem was about Yelp's actual daily topics which made it more interesting. Then there was a prescreen interview which was well arranged and gave a lots of insights about the company.

      Challenging situations I've faced lately. Reason of applying for Yelp.

      why do you use Flink, why do you use Kafka? Can you give a more detailed explanation?
