Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that your experience on our team was anything less than what you had hoped for. During the interview process, we go to great lengths to set realistic expectations about the challenges that come with the Account Executive role because it's important to us that everyone who comes on board has a solid understanding of the highs and lows that a career in sales brings. With that, our management style at Yelp is very hands-on, and to some, this might feel like micromanagement. However, our goal is to provide ample support to our teams as they learn new skills and practice new tactics. Finally, we understand that being held to specific metrics is challenging. However, we know that this is the best way one can be successful in sales. We know this approach is not for everyone, but we've created a successful and supportive environment through this strategy.

Pros

Supportive management-My manager is amazing and truly cares about my personal and professional growth. Career development- I love the position I am in, but have been encouraged for others. Yelp offers great opportunities to advance, explore new roles and develop new skills if that's the direction you want. Work life balance-10/10. As a mom of 3, I feel empowered to balance my family responsibilities and career and Yelp does just that. Inclusivity and culture- Yelp’s commitment to belonging and inclusivity is real, I’ve always felt valued here. I love my team so much. Flexibility- Movement between roles and growth are genuinely supported. Working from home also helps a lot with flexibility. Employee recognition-Hard work is acknowledged and celebrated daily.

Cons

Large company changes- Like any sizable company, occasional shifts or leadership changes mean adapting to new processes. Remote work challenges- Not unique to Yelp, but staying connected with coworkers virtually can take extra effort. Compensation-Base is very low compared to a lot of other tech companies, but again you put the work in and it all evens out.
