Thank you for the great review! We're so glad to hear that you've had a positive experience with Yelp's remote culture, focus on work-life balance, and support for mental health. It's also great to know that the compensation has met your expectations. We appreciate your feedback on PTO. While we aim to offer a well-rounded benefits package, we’re always looking for ways to improve and stay competitive, especially when it comes to time off and overall employee wellness. Thanks for being part of the team. We're happy to have you at Yelp!

Pros

Supportive management-My manager is amazing and truly cares about my personal and professional growth. Career development- I love the position I am in, but have been encouraged for others. Yelp offers great opportunities to advance, explore new roles and develop new skills if that's the direction you want. Work life balance-10/10. As a mom of 3, I feel empowered to balance my family responsibilities and career and Yelp does just that. Inclusivity and culture- Yelp’s commitment to belonging and inclusivity is real, I’ve always felt valued here. I love my team so much. Flexibility- Movement between roles and growth are genuinely supported. Working from home also helps a lot with flexibility. Employee recognition-Hard work is acknowledged and celebrated daily.

Cons

Large company changes- Like any sizable company, occasional shifts or leadership changes mean adapting to new processes. Remote work challenges- Not unique to Yelp, but staying connected with coworkers virtually can take extra effort. Compensation-Base is very low compared to a lot of other tech companies, but again you put the work in and it all evens out.
