J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Yelp (San Francisco, CA) en janv. 2017
Entretien
Did a technical phone screen on coderpad. This was a general algorithm question, could use any language, decided to use Swift.
Was then flown out to SF for an onsite at the HQ. It started with lunch with a randomly assigned engineer and attended one of the weekly Friday talks. This was followed by 4 one hour white boarding interviews. No deep iOS questions or learn-by-heart API questions. However definitely would have to have done some iOS development to make it through.

Overall, they seemed genuinely interested in me as a person and were super nice. I feel like the culture fit was definitely there. I never really understood what that meant ("culture fit") until I interviewed with Yelp. It is super important, and you know it when you have experienced it.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
I do not feel that I should disclose the actual questions, but they were definitely the most fair of any interview I received. I felt like it was super positive environment where they want you to succeed. Make sure you are familiar with basic data structures (stacks, queues, graphs, trees, etc) and your classical n log n sorting algorithms (merge sort is a great one to know for every interview not just Yelp). They also give you a lot of opportunities to show that you know things. Just go with. Verbalize your thoughts and tell tidbits of knowledge along the way. But get code on the board. I feel like Yelp really wanted working code on the white board, and you have a very limited amount of time. Practice on an actual whiteboard with an engineer before if you can. Whiteboarding is never the easy. Seriously check your markers between interviews or bring your own. There is nothing worse than a marker going out during thoughts.
I have heard that someone asks you to make a search engine (preprocess and make files into an inverted index) for Web Dev interviews, but that was not the case for mine :)
