Yelp reviews

It's a huge company and there's no chance to make a meaningful impact. It's a great gig if you just want to do an easy day job you can truly leave at the door. It's not a good job for smart and/or ambitious people. It will hurt your soul. The job is not interesting or challenging. I found it infuriating to see how they take advantage of hard work and don't listen to ideas. There's effectively no upward mobility. Not just talking about Yelp either. There's no path up from this. No one finds your job useful. This job doesn't set you up with the skills to do anything. Generally what I hated most was feeling treated like a child. The team events were mostly ok but we were made to do a lot of childish things. Much forced fun. Not pretty with a group of introverts. I've never worked with so many catty people in my life. I didn't even fully realize how much negativity I absorbed until I was finally free. Reading this because you're considering a job? If you're fresh outta school hell yeah why not. Otherwise? You can do better.

-hypergrowth -extremely high turnover -stress (largely due to the disdain that SMBs have for Yelp. You will encounter a lot of people that hate Yelp with a fiery fervor. After awhile, all the combative calls can wear you down. -Product (85% of every dollar spent on digital advertising goes to Google and FB). Not only are those platform more popular -with business owners and consumers alike- but they offer more customization and tracking. The fallacy in Yelp's business model is that transactions/ ROI are largely hard to track.
