We appreciate your feedback, and while we are glad to hear that you felt empowered and supported in maintaining a healthy work-life balance during your time on our team, we're sorry that your overall experience was anything less than what you had hoped for. Our compensation package is designed to support our employees' physical and mental well-being and focuses on what our employees value most, which is total rewards. This includes health benefits, 401(k) matching, paid time off programs, family forming support, and mental health services, to name a few. Each employee's story and perspective are unique, and it only makes sense that we offer benefits and perks to support every part of them. Thank you again for your feedback. We wish you the very best in your next role.

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.
