Pros: Engineering stack and infrastructure use largely up-to-date and open-source technology — transferable knowledge.

Cons: Most things are already built, so interesting projects are rarer.

Pros: Super friendly and easy-going work environment, flexible hours, great people, and very nice office spaces.

Cons: I have not really found any until now.

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.
