Amazing company to work for!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
March 8, 2019
Pros: In this past year, I must say that I never felt Yelp was any smaller than the other companies in the Bay Area. The company tries to provide each and every facility/perk being provided by other mid-sized companies around. Some of the best things about working here:
* Pay (is quite competitive when it comes to proposing an offer)
* Stocks (public company and hence we do get RSUs, although the price is quite volatile)
* Every quarter offsites (I have been to kayaking, Six Flags, escape rooms, ice-creams, etc.)
* Every Friday Happy Hour (Booze)
* Hackathons (2 days every quarter, engage yourself in any kind of activity you like)
* Decent number of PTOs
* Good management
* Liberal WFH policies
* Now we have unlimited/unrestricted sick leaves
And tons of other things!!
Cons: Should give some yearly bonus.
