Software Engineer • Current Employee
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
July 14, 2021
Pros: Friendly culture, and the scope of your work will be pretty large. This doesn't mean you will be overworked, though, because Yelp really values WLB and does not feel cutthroat. Great environment to learn and grow. Corporate strategy during COVID has been great.
Cons: Comp could be better, especially in high CoL cities like Vancouver/Toronto. Prod/Eng seems understaffed, especially when compared to competitors (Google/FB/etc.), but we are hiring a lot.
