Process
I was originally contacted for an interview and then told that they were done recruiting a few days later. I was not in the States at the time and was not available to interview for a few days, but by then it was too late.

Pros: 1. Awesome culture!
Yelp has the best engineering culture among the Bay Area tech companies. Engineers are well respected and protected. Managers are there mainly helping engineers to grow and succeed. Office politics are rarely seen.
2. As an immigrant, Yelp has partnered with great immigration lawyers to ensure H1B, PERM, and I-140 processes go smoothly. I've never heard of people getting into trouble with their visas.
Cons: I really hope we have an office somewhere outside SF city. It will be much easier for experienced engineers to stay longer in the company.
