Pros

Fun work environment Work with your friends Kegs in the office Company parties Great benefits (Free health/dental/medical insurance, almost a whole month of paid time off) Laid-back environment Pandora playing

Cons

They hire new classes of 30+ sales reps every month so you feel like you are very expendable to the company Depending on what territory you are assigned will determine your success. If you get a good territory (i.e, Southern California) you will excel in the promotion track very quickly whereas if you get a bad territory where no one knows what Yelp is you have the same expectations from management.

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.
