Process
I talked to them at the career fair. I mostly spoke with the HR person about my achievements and "where I would see myself in 5 years" before talking to the software engineer there. He asked me about some of my resume points, and a week later, I received a phone interview.
It was an hour long and went okay, so now I'm just waiting for their response.

Yelp Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Managers, Some Tech DebtSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesApril 19, 2025Pros: The company has a great culture. Most teams have good work-life balance with limited on-call responsibilities. I've had several managers, and every single one listens to me and cares about me and my teammates. The remote work is also very nice.Cons: My team does not suffer from this, but I've seen some teams struggle with tech debt because their management and PM does not want to take time to prioritize it. To an extent, this is on the ICs for not advocating for this well enough, but this becomes a problem for both future ICs and the productivity of the company at large.
