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

The SE org within Yext is the best team, and has some of the best managers.

Cons

Lots of changes, it can be difficult to navigate the environment and the company definitely lacks diversity

Pros

- There are some good people at the company, you will meet people who you want to be friends with but there are also people who want to pretend to be your friend - Free coffee/lunch, especially given the office is located in Chelsea, its nice to have a lunch paid for especially when everything is so expensive. - Interesting product, i think it definitely has its benefits it just takes some time to understand all of Yext's solution and their applicability

Cons

When I say high school culture, that's mostly in reference to the cons. - Managers clearly play favorites, regardless of what you do or your reasoning, One of their favorites? Go on vacation and they won't count a couple days against your PTO, if you're not, you will find it more difficult to do everything (it was clear from the interview that my manager did not really seem to care, shouldve taken it as a sign) - DEI is a joke at this company, which is funny because every month there is a new inclusive happy hour for a new group we're highlighting. Stop being inclusive when you feel like it or if it fits a happy hour theme and start being inclusive when it matters. - Someone on here mentioned a "kiss the ring" attitude in the presence of leadership - could not agree more, my own manager was afraid of interacting with their boss, it became a joke amongst our team. - Response to layoffs can't be to just work harder every time, especially when upper management seems to lie about layoffs happening every couple of months, maybe because they refer to them as "strategic restructurings" (get ready to hear a lot about GAAP accounting during all-hands where the CFO basically talks numbers on why we're doing "better" than it looks) - There is a level of toxicity and lack of transparency as soon as you step through the doors. Your success is almost pre-determined as unfortunate as it sounds. If you have issues/objections, keep it to yourself, most people here are more focused on looking good than actually being it.
