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: Really great working culture. With roughly 500 engineers, people know each other's names and expertise. Lots of room to grow.

Cons: No catering food. Bad happy hour events.

Pros: You get to work with a ton of really smart people. The team and engineering processes are quite agile.

Cons: The company is quite young, and this can be a double-edged sword. They do hire the best out of college, but sometimes the new grads lack experience.
