Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you found our benefits to be valuable and that you enjoyed our remote work environment. We value training for all of our employees, including our managers, so training and coaching are an ongoing part of their career at Yelp. All of our managers go through two different programs before being selected to become people leaders. The Intro to Leadership (ITL) is a classroom-based curriculum designed to teach the fundamentals of the role. Candidates who complete ITL then need to earn a spot on our designated manager bench team, Launchpad. Here, they spend their time participating in on-the-job training whereby we start to put classroom principles taught in ITL into practice. This is not a management job, but a way for us to see whether candidates can coach and operate according to our standards. Candidates who are successful on the Launchpad will be selected to take a Sales Training Manager role within the Training org, onboarding all of our new hires. Once in the Training org, they're then enrolled in a suite of trainings, from New Manager Training to all the current curriculums legacy managers need to complete. In addition, our goal is to be as transparent as possible about the rewards that come with the Account Executive position. There are 12 tiers in the Local Sales path, each unlocking a higher title, salary, and/or new bonus structures. Because you’re unlocking higher salaries and bonus structures with each promotion, you’ll get paid more in year 2 for doing the same amount of work you did in year 1. Thank you again for sharing your feedback, and we wish you the best in your next role.

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.
