Pros

Working a sales job in this company teaches you exactly what not to look for when you eventually realize what a horrible place Yelp is to work and leave. Free snacks are the only good thing about this company... and maybe the free mugs.

Cons

All of the negative reviews here pretty much sum everything up. The work culture is highly unhealthy. Management is your typical "boss in jeans" where they use what you say against you but makes you feel like you guys need to be best friends and be open about your personal life. HR is a nightmare. They don't care about their employees. You are just a number in the company and easily replaceable. But, of course, all of that is shown indirectly with their "fake smiles" and "super positive attitude." If making the same calls everyday, reading the same script everyday, leaving the same voicemail everyday, having the same "motivating and positive" roundups at 8:30 am everyday, having the business owners curse you out everyday, maybe closing a few deals and getting cheered on with snacks and high fives everyday, putting on a mask and pretending you love what you are doing everyday are what you are looking for, then Yelp is the perfect place to work for.

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.
