      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      24 June 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Toronto, ON
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Yelp (Toronto, ON) in May 2026

      Interview

      Recruiter email -> take home coding -> second recruiter call for job fit -> technical project deep dive with engjneer -> 4 hour onsite interview of two coding rounds, one system design, and behavioural. It was very slow, I initially got told the role had been filled up prior to the technical onsite and then a few weeks later was called back to do final round for a new open position. The interview was good, and the leetcode questions were easy - medium leetcode. Overall the process could’ve been better with organization and communication especially from the recruiters

      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      13 July 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in July 2021

      Interview

      The recruiter was highly abusive, constantly received implications linked with my current employee which helped me to understand the processes set up by them. The interview process was pre-concluded in order to contribute to a bullying campaing. False information around Tier2 was given as well. No actionable feedback given despite the ask.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Possible easy/average programming task, highly interrupted process and set up for failure despite the ease of the task.

      Site Reliability Engineer Interview

      7 Nov 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp in Nov 2019

      Interview

      1. Introductory HR round - Nothing specific, just background checks 2. An online coding test - 3 questions on Hackerrank, exceptionally easy to solve. 3. Another HR interview - Primarily involves details about the whole interview process. 4. Face-to-face online coding round - You are expected to code in a programming language the interviewer knows. If you are like me, you will get a guy who ONLY knows Python. You will be asked or let's say "forced" to code in Python even if you are not comfortable with it. Also, you are expected to give the exact solution the interviewer has in mind. ANY other solution, and BAM! you are out of the interview process. 2 days later, I received a rejection email saying "We cannot provide individual feedback" for the rejection. I felt that I was better off where I am instead of going to Yelp. After all, who'd want to work for a company where transparency is not valued, where shady decision making is done, where you are forced to code in a programming language. My advice: 1. Only apply if you are a Python expert turned SRE. 2. You are okay with ZERO transparency. 3. You can give the answers to the interviewer from the manuals, AS IS. Like a kindergarten test. Will I EVER apply to Yelp again after this experience? Never, not in this lifetime. Am I satisfied after the rejection? Of course, I am. I value Transparency and Polyglotism.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Can you code in Python? Because I do not know any other language (or golang to be specific).
