Pros: Nice and friendly work environment, lovely interior design, and you are allowed to work on nearly anything you want.

Cons: I'm somewhat anti-social and dislike big crowds, which didn't fit well with Yelp's extremely outgoing people. Also, Yelp is not a huge cash cow, so there isn't nearly as much money to go around compared to Dropbox or Google, although that's not the company's fault. I was paid pretty well for an intern, but I hear that the company's benefits package is weak. It seems much easier to get promoted here than in places like Google, though. Also, San Francisco is expensive.

Pros: Lots of opportunities to grow. Lots of freedom. Great work-life balance.

Cons: Coworkers leaving is hurting morale. Slow projects.

Pros: - Great work-life balance for engineers who are not on call. - Everyone is very nice.

Cons: - No sensical career tracks for software engineers that are more than 2 years out of college. - Engineering managers are non-technical, inexperienced, clueless, and useless. They are essentially enhanced HR people. Don't get me wrong, this is a great opportunity for engineers who are dying to stop coding and learning new things. - Compensation is not competitive. - Yelp has a renege culture; managers and execs love over-promising and then reneging. This includes company holidays canceled last minute, raises, and roadmaps. - All roadmaps are in a permanent deadlock, which is why Yelp products are not innovative. This will never change. - Product decisions are not collaborative; it is 100% PM-driven. Perfect place to work if you're just out of college, you're dying to stop coding, want to do nothing all day, and cash the check every 2 weeks.
