      Pros

      Friendly people, Supportive environment for developing, Treated as a normal engineer ( no special treatment for interns), Offsites, 2 holiday days per month, pythonic company

      Cons

      Lack of structure of internship, Interns try to find a project for themself in the first 2-3 weeks of internship. They are not clear what they are expecting from the interns. They will say things like "take it chill, there is no rush, you can postpone deadlines no worries" in the beginning and at the end of the internship you will be grilled for postponing 1 deadline. Don't expect to get full time offer after your internship.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback! It's great to hear that your internship with us in Hamburg was overall a positive experience. We think highly value the students that intern with us and feel that they always bring unique insight and perspective to the table! We hear you loud and clear on the advice to management you've provided. We want to make sure the internship program is as smooth as possible and makes the best use of student's time. We'll pass your notes along to our leadership team so we can keep making improvements. Thank you for your time at Yelp!

      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.
