Pros

Yext is by far the greatest company that I have ever worked for and I plan to stay with them for several more years! As cliche as it sounds, when you work for a company and a product you believe in, it makes coming to work every day easy. Just like most tech companies, we have great perks like: health and wellness benefits through Cigna insurance, unlimited PTO if you are a salaried employee (I think it's 10-15 if you aren't), Seamless x2 a day when you are working in the office , snack on snacks on snacks, Employee Resource Groups that foster a community across departments, lots of internal mobility opportunities, involved executive team - for example: we still have company wide meetings every week hosted by our executive team and usually our CEO Howard, and a new Yext HQ opening in NYC in 2020. It's a great time to join Yext...maybe even better of an opportunity now vs. when we IPO'd.

Cons

As many of the reviews below mention, it's not the same Yext as it's always been and there is A LOT shifting in the company, including the product. Have we lost a majority of our start-up vibes? Yes, but, that's what comes with the territory of being a publicly funded company. My biggest gripe with the company is that if you started at an entry level salary, it is difficult to increase just through annual performance reviews. The best way to get a significant pay boost is by switching departments or if you are on the sales team.

Pros

The product is incredible, but the people are what truly make this company special. Everyone is supportive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in helping one another succeed and working together for the betterment of the company. It is refreshing to work alongside talented professionals who are not only incredible in their respective fields, but also great teammates and overall great people. Leadership: Executive leadership is a standout aspect of Yext. They are transparent, approachable, incredibly down to earth (with great senses of humor), and always communicate a clear vision for the future. Decisions and results are explained clearly and openly, employees are kept informed about opportunities and challenges equally, and everything is addressed directly; creating a strong sense of trust and alignment across the organization. Culture: Although it is usually a buzzword just thrown around, Yext actually believes and invests in it. No company is perfect, but Yext, with executive leadership setting the tone at the top, places a huge emphasis on culture and values, prioritizing both personal and professional growth and wellness. There are plenty of opportunities to learn, take on new challenges, and grow your career; while also being given the peace of mind and resources to recharge while doing so. The environment is fast-paced but supportive, which combined with Yext's values and employees, creates an environment of high performers that can thrive while also feeling valued and supported.

Cons

Not a con, but more of a disclosure. If you are looking for a place to just "get a job and collect a check," Yext is not for you. You truly get out what you put in, and while everyone is understanding and we know life happens, we hold each other to a high professional standard for both conduct and work quality, I personally believe this is part of what makes Yext great, but not all may feel that way.

Pros

Pioneered the business of citation management, acquired Scout for AI intelligence in 2025. Good tech. - beautiful office in NYC, lunch provided daily and there's a nice rooftop patio. Decent comp.

Cons

Despite their long history in listings management space, Yext continues to suffer from bad management, poor customer service and continuous strategic changes. We have an uphill battle against the agentic ai revolution. For a public company, it's hard to understand why they have so many internal issues, it's not easy.
