yellow.ai Interview Questions
& Process

Through a coaching program, the first round involved aptitude, reasoning, technical, and coding assessments. The second round was a communication-focused interview. After that, I received a call from the company's HR department to schedule the next steps. The third round was a technical interview that included live coding.

So there were two rounds in total. The first one was all about coding and technical stuff, testing how I solve problems and my basic knowledge. The second round was more like a chat with a manager, talking about my past projects, how I make decisions, work with others, and if I'm a good fit.

The first step was a recruiter call, which was pretty standard and went smoothly. Then, I had an in-person interview with the hiring manager. They focused a lot on my past experience and what I can do skill-wise. The experience felt a bit off and awkward because the hiring manager was kind of half-interviewing me and half-checking their phone. But honestly, I think they might just be a bit socially awkward and not great with cues, so it probably wasn't meant to be as aloof as it felt.

So, there were 5 rounds in total. I got through all of them except the last one. In the final round, they hit me with questions on stuff I'd already told them I hadn't worked on. Honestly, it felt like they were just going through the motions. Even if you aced the earlier rounds, it didn't seem to matter if they'd already made up their mind to reject you based on a perceived skills mismatch. My two cents: seriously vet and filter resumes upfront. Know what you're looking for and if candidates actually fit. Stop wasting everyone's time and energy with so many interview rounds. If you're planning to reject someone, do it early on. PS - The HR folks were super nice and friendly, made the process feel pretty smooth.
