Process
Get the opportunity from campus. I finished one online assessment to get the phone interview, which was very easy. It took a long time to schedule the phone interview.

Yelp Work Experiences

Remote Work, Bad Management
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
November 18, 2023
Pros: Good benefits. It is a fully remote company.
Cons: Most managers are terrible at Yelp. A lot of inexperienced managers were hired in recent years with no idea how to lead. Total chaos and lack of vision and direction from them.
Work-life balance is almost non-existent in some teams. Compensation was reduced in an environment where everything is getting more expensive.
A stupid leveling system just takes away from engineers' productivity and puts unnecessary pressure on them.
Lack of transparency is a company-wide culture.

Wfh, But Toxic Management
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
June 5, 2024
Pros: - Good benefits.
- It is a work-from-home environment.
Cons: They perform silent layoffs and are not honest about the whole situation. Before they lay you off, they make your life a living hell. This happened to a lot of people I know.
Very bad management. If you are lucky, you can be in a good team with a good manager. However, some teams have terrible managers without any experience.
