Pros

Free coffee. Free snacks, although that's gotten worse since they started forcing "healthy" onto everyone. Really lovely office. It was a great place to work. Better a has been than a never was. Solid health insurance.

Cons

Nepotism is king here. Been here for 5 years, took on way more tasks, have had many achievements, never got promoted. New department manager is a close connection with someone in leadership, but seems underqualified. There's a glass ceiling here if you're not well-connected. It's also white male dominant past a certain level, unless we're talking HR. Then it's all white women. Not sure how you can push DEI when everyone at the top is the same. The climate around here is becoming toxic. HR moved into our section, to watch us, I guess. HR and leadership seem genuinely out of touch. They laid off a bunch of people but we still pay for wasteful events like yoga and guided meditation. And they do these interviews with the co-founder once in a while where he doesn't actually directly answer anything. It's just straight up awkward to watch. They never order enough lunch on Tuesdays for people, the day they make us all come in. We're also losing our flexibility as they try to push us to come in twice a week. They had us come in on a Friday because it was end of quarter... Why do SDRs need to be here on a Friday, they're not closing anything... it's just petty from leadership. Work life balance is terrible as we often have to work out of hours in accordance with Israel's availability for meetings.

We take your concerns very seriously, if you haven’t already done so, we really encourage you to connect directly with a leader you trust to talk through this more or reach out to HR leadership. We want everyone to feel valued here.

Pros

Despite the overwhelming amount of issues, I did meet some colleagues who were kind and smart.

Cons

I was at Yotpo for a while, so I saw firsthand how unfair and poorly they operated. It's been said before but if you are a person of color, you will have a very hard time here. They form groups around one identity and favoritism. You won't get promoted or ever feel like you belong. There have been multiple instances where I've felt extremely uncomfortable. Leadership once encouraged us to reach out to customers, asking for support on political causes personal to them. This is extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. In the office, some colleagues would bring up divisive topics often and try to force their opinions on others. There were constant changes from leadership that lacked thought and follow through. Instead of thinking about what was best for employees, leadership made decisions that led to burnout, broke trust, and deepened resentment. One great example is deciding to hire multiple people and then 2 months later announcing a layoff - forcing those remaining to work twice as hard. I've seen peers get mistreated by their managers too. It broke my heart to watch kind, hardworking people be gaslit, spoken down to, and disrespected. There's a reason so many have left and are continuing to. Look to the numbers as proof, and do with that what you will.
