Pros

In this 1 year, I must say that I never felt Yelp was anyway smaller than the other companies in the Bay area. The company tries to provide each and every facility/perk being provided by other mid-sized companies around. Some of the best things abt working here: - Pay (is quite competitive when it comes to proposing an offer) - Stocks (public company and hence we do get RSUs, although the price is quite volatile.) - Every quarter offsites (I have been to kayaking, 6 Flags, escape rooms, ice-creams etc.) - Every Friday Happy Hour (Booz) - Hackathons (2 days every quarter, engage yourself in any kind of activity you like) - Decent number of PTOs - Good management - Liberal in WFH policiies - Now we have unlimited/unrestricted sick leaves and tons of other things!!

Cons

- Should give some yearly bonus :/

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.
