Pros

Fully Stocked Kitchen Fully paid benefits through Blue Cross/Blue Shield Fun Environment Young Staff MAC computers Transparency Great incentives/outings Great Training Gym membership Reimbursement

Cons

Pay isn't great, even for living in AZ Salespeople aren't on a leveled playing field Promotions and productivity are based on revenue brought in rather than tenure and actual hard work and competence. The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor- Closers get the best territories but this is all determined by a randomized territory you get in training which will either make or break your career here. Stressful- you live by numbers everyday and it's never going to be enough

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.
