Pros

There was free food and it was somewhat healthy, there is also beer for happy hour at the end of the day which is an incentive- for an immature employee distracted by bright, shiny things dangled in front of them

Cons

Awful pay, spread the sales team too thin by over-hiring, too much like a call center- going about it all wrong. First you start off in a group of up to 35 people and smaller groups are created. You train as one large group by watching presentations, then when you get on the phones it is strictly volume, not quality. This is where they go about it all wrong, they should focus on developing business and building client relationships to be taken more seriously.

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.
