Pros

The people (co-workers) are some of the best you will ever have in your life. Bright, smart, compassionate and funny. Probably the only reason that will motivate you to show up to work. I learned a lot about client interaction, developed thick skin & the benefits are solid...

Cons

I was miserable here. Its a call center, point blank period. They describe the job as being a consultant for small business owners but really you're answering calls all day. 9/10 its going to be a small business owner who either wants to cancel or berate you about why they can't remove their reviews, or get out of paying an early termination fee. Don't ever be surprised if a biz owner curses you out or calls you a foul name, you will be called every name in the book, probably a couple times a week. Express that you're uncomfortable with being called names on the phone to your manager, and they will start digging into why you're all of a sudden" not meeting metrics". You must drink the kool-aid if you're going to keep your sanity here. They don't like people with their own minds, and management seems intimidated if you can think for yourself. It's sad. If you don't "bleed Yelp", there is no room for upward movement, because managers play favorites. Management prospects are already hand picked by management before they even open up positions.

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.
