I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2015
Interview
15 minute intro call explaining what yelp's work environment is like, then I took an online technical assessment. After the assessment, they invite me to 1 hour Skype technical interview, and finally a long on-site interviews that I talked to 4 different employees. The process was very quick and smooth, they did not just put me aside and let me wait.

Question 1
Talk about the project you are the most proud of, why do you want to work at yelp
Very intense. 4 back to back 45 minute interviews. One behaviour and four technical interviews.
Nice people but got the vibe everyone was happy with the work as it wasn’t too challenging.
