Pros: Pretty chill. My team's work is kind of interesting.

Cons: I'm failing to see the career growth I expected.

Pros: OUTSTANDING work/life balance. The most important thing is that you get your work done, and so the hours don't really matter (as long as you're there during the core business hours of 10-4pm). Each team is different, but the two teams that I've been on both operated the same way. People came in, worked hard for the 8 hours that they were there, and went home at a reasonable hour, including taking lunch/coffee/chit chat breaks. Timings are very flexible, and management is always understanding of those times when you need to work from home. Incredible culture – they treat their employees so well. From free snacks/drinks on every floor, to free catered food/beer every Friday, to free and delicious coffee/cold brew daily from our talented baristas, to free deli sandwiches/bagels/pb&j sandwiches. I could keep going, but you get the idea. Being in the industry that Yelp is in, there's plenty of free and delicious food, as expected. Or just walk a few blocks away to dozens and dozens of fun and interesting restaurants because Yelp is in the middle of everything! Fun events every quarter, such as hackathons, team outings, and holiday events. They really do a great job of making sure employees are rewarded and feel appreciated. Amazing co-workers – as I said, I worked on 2 different teams so far, and everyone has been super helpful and accommodating. People will take the time out of their day to help and make sure you're past the hurdle – an incredibly collaborative environment. Relevant/cutting edge technology – getting the chance/freedom to work on interfaces using tools that are industry-leading is an incredible opportunity! I'm learning so much!! Great compensation/Benefits – salary is very competitive, and the stock package is even better than I had hoped for, so not much negotiation was needed. Plus, the benefits are very solid. This includes any equipment that you might need at work – it's all covered (with manager approval). Also, full health coverage! For all these reasons, Yelp has been the BEST company I have ever worked for. I absolutely love coming into work every day; I look forward to it :D Flat organization – there are no politics, no power struggles, no meaningless titles. The work and the timely delivery of a quality product is the most important thing.

Cons: Literally the only con I could come up with is the need for a better 401k match.

Pros: Lots of great people. No toxicity. Excellent engineers.

Cons: Pay isn't competitive. Some toxic management.
