      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Excellent insight into the restaurant world,great opportunity to learn a lot about the business side of the restaurant industry. Great earning potential on the commission, one phone call can make make you thousands of dollars. Excellent sales training and learning opportunity, worked with the most brilliant sales reps in the industry.

      Cons

      The dark cloud that sits on Yelp as a brand makes the sales more about defending the brand as opposed to providing a solution that actually works for the business. Hiring management externally created a negative shift culture, morale and overall performance.

      Nice, friendly, not full time

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly people, Supportive environment for developing, Treated as a normal engineer ( no special treatment for interns), Offsites, 2 holiday days per month, pythonic company

      Cons

      Lack of structure of internship, Interns try to find a project for themself in the first 2-3 weeks of internship. They are not clear what they are expecting from the interns. They will say things like "take it chill, there is no rush, you can postpone deadlines no worries" in the beginning and at the end of the internship you will be grilled for postponing 1 deadline. Don't expect to get full time offer after your internship.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback! It's great to hear that your internship with us in Hamburg was overall a positive experience. We think highly value the students that intern with us and feel that they always bring unique insight and perspective to the table! We hear you loud and clear on the advice to management you've provided. We want to make sure the internship program is as smooth as possible and makes the best use of student's time. We'll pass your notes along to our leadership team so we can keep making improvements. Thank you for your time at Yelp!
