Pros: Awesome work-life balance there.

Cons: Stock performance is really bad there.

Pros: Yelp is a really great company to work for. Some things that I value: * Genuinely nice, friendly people across the board. My colleagues are a pleasure to work with and are always looking out for each other. There's no backstabbing or competition like you might find in other companies. * Challenging problems to solve. The work is hard, and Yelp Engineering is constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. * Good work-life balance. There's no expectation that you work long hours or work on weekends; in fact, it's actively discouraged. Management is very understanding of family needs and personal needs as well. * Trustworthy, transparent leadership. The leaders at Yelp have to make a lot of hard decisions, but when those decisions are made, it's communicated clearly and with authenticity. * Remote-friendly. The company has been vastly expanding its resources for remote employees, and it has a good culture of communication to support remote employees.

Cons: * The stock price. * Salary is probably not competitive with some of the bigger companies in the industry. * Yelp is still going through a lot of growing pains as a company in terms of processes, structure, and scale.

Pros: Great environment. Amazing people. Everyone there is willing to help you get on your feet and start coding. They all come off as friendly and helpful, and you fit in in no time. A lot of the time, you will either be on IRC chatting with fellow coworkers about life, or setting up some after-work activity. The environment is laid back, and the only real motivating factor was seeing how much your fellow co-worker did the previous day, since there weren't really any set deadlines to get a project done.

Cons: Had a long commute, but other than that, everything was incredible. No complaints.
