Pros

- Very fun environment to be in, there's always something exciting - The people are fantastic - Looks great on a resume - Connections - Professional development - Clear path for advancement - You're selling THE best local advertising available to local businesses

Cons

- No control over sales territories (i.e. selling Yelp advertising is absolutely not the same in Beverly Hills as it is in Little Rock, Arkansas...yet quotas for both of these kinds territories are the same.) - A bit of a revolving door, they bring in a new sales team every few months...it kind of creates this sentiment that "you are replaceable" - As the company grows and goes public, things change...so be prepared to cope. Laptops connected to monitors have been replaced by Mac minis; wireless headsets at Junior AE level are no more; veteran jackets have been discontinued...you start and get so excited for extra perks and work hard towards them and then they are denied right as you get to the level to obtain them.

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.
