I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
****The process is not yet complete. I'm just writing it down so that I do not forget. I have the onsite interview in 1 week so will edit it completely. Please do not reject right now and dont make it public either. Perhaps GD should consider adding a draft feature? ****
I had applied in Oct/Nov 2014 but got a call in late January. I showed interest and was quickly liked to a telephonic interview. Progress on that lead to another telephonic interview with a senior developer. Success in that lead to Yelp offering me boarding and lodging to fly to SanFrancisco for an onsite interview. The whole process went surprisingly smoothly. Even before landing in San Franscisco, I had communicated with a recruitment manager, interview coordinator, relocation officer, a developer and a senior developer. The people were really nice and respectful and I always felt that I was in good hands.
The telephonic interviews were smooth as well. Not very challenging if you are prepared. Surprisingly, it did not focus too much on iOS development.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
An enumerator is a class with getNextObject method. It encapsulates the container. Write an enumerator. Next, write a new enumerator called chained-enumerator which is initialized by two other enumerators. Finally, how would you make it work with N enumerators. I had to write the logic for getNextObject for the most part (and any other internal state I wanted to manage).
Second question was not really a question but a very healthy session of pair programming where I was speaking and a senior developer was coding. He chose JAVA and we were creating a list data-structure (with add, count, delete) operations. The catch was that we were going to do it TDD style. So I guided him on what kind of test we can write and how to pass that test and so on. We kept doing it and in 45 minutes we had a very well tested working list data structure.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
First an initial phone screen with recruiter. After asking me some basic information, she gave me a link to the online coding challenge. The online coding challenge is easy, but covers many aspect of Computer Science, like Linux knowledges, algorithm knowledges, HTTP knowledges etc.
Then I was scheduled to a 45-mins interview with an engineer via Skype. Asked about backgrounds according your resume, just common chatting. Then wrote code on an online editor. The coding question is very basic. I was asked to write in JavaScript.
Then scheduled to 45*2mins back-to-back Skype interviews with an engineer and a manager from Yelp Consumer team. The process is somehow very similar to the first Skype interview. Except for that the coding questions were more challenging. You can choose whatever language you want, and I still stood with JavaScript.
Overall experience was very positive. The recruiter was very responsive.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Code Test question have 15 question, 1st 14 question a basic knowledge question (You can search it on glassdoor) and last question is coding question. The question i got is compare two words.
The only thing you have to know is first 14 question, you only have 8 minutes so you have to finish it ASAP, i didn't know that so i didn't get chance to answer last question :(
For last question, you should try finish it quickly so you have change to test your code.
