Pros

-Free food -If you're looking for mgmt, there is an endless demand as they grow exponentially -Training program (YSDP) was very strong (at least during my time) -Senior management (this # has lessened recently but there are still some very talented managers working there) -Most managers genuinely care about your individual growth -There is potential to make money if you put in the work (although, there is an indisputable correlation between success and territory).

Cons

-hypergrowth -extremely high turnover -stress (largely due to the disdain that SMBs have for Yelp. You will encounter a lot of people that hate Yelp with a fiery fervor. After awhile, all the combative calls can wear you down. -Product (85% of every dollar spent on digital advertising goes to Google and FB). Not only are those platform more popular -with business owners and consumers alike- but they offer more customization and tracking. The fallacy in Yelp's business model is that transactions/ ROI are largely hard to track.

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.
