We appreciate your feedback! It's great to hear that you feel valued for your contributions. While it's great to have a competitive compensation and benefits package, it's also important to feel fulfilled about the work you're doing. One of the best things about working at Yelp is that folks join small teams with the opportunity to make a significant impact. We certainly hope things don't feel stale too long and encourage you to share your professional aspirations with your manager so they can find ways to support you best. It's the beginning of the year, and now is a great time to start setting those goals! Keep up the great work. We appreciate your constructive feedback and will be sure to share it with our leadership team!

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.
