      Software Engineer - Mobile IOS Interview

      15 Mar 2016
      Anonymous employee
      San Francisco, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      I applied online. After one brief interview with recruiter (there were simple technical questions that every ios engineer should answer pretty easy), I had 2 screening interviews with Yelp engineers - there was 20-25 minutes talking about my background and projects I mentioned in my resume and about 20 minutes coding some simple algorithmic question. After that I was invited to onsite interview in San Francisco. There were 4 interviews with different engineers, I was really afraid to do something wrong, and thought it will be longest hours in my life. But the time passed very quickly, everyone was friendly and inspired, we talk a lot about my past projects, Yelp app itself and the company culture, discussed some tradeoffs in technologies and of course I did whiteboard coding (recruiter will tell you if it's required so prepare for that). In 3 working days after the interview recruiter contacted me to make an offer which I gladly accepted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I can't tell you the questions because of NDA. But if you comfortable with algorithms (sorting, iterations, find), arrays, trees, linked lists and all this stuff - you should perform well. Only thing I should mention - practice in whiteboard coding before the interview to feel comfortable about that. In about 5 to 10 problems you'll become okay with idea of writing code on whiteboard(if you don't do that in everyday work of course), and this should help.
