Pros

Very fun company to work for. There's a great atmosphere amongst the employees, engineering and sales both. I really enjoy everyone I've met so far. Pay is also very competitive, and Yelp also offered stock options, something that has more than tripled in value over the past year.

Cons

I'm hard-pressed to really think of anything as an engineer at Yelp, but if I had to say, it'd be that the company still acts like a startup. Personally, I enjoy that aspect. We move quick, and that can cause problems from time to time. Nothing too difficult to navigate, though.

Advice to Management

The division between Sales and Engineering can be awkward at times.

The lunches are about the only thing that really highlights this, but it'd be good to have more "whole company" events where interaction between departments is encouraged.

There are great employees on both sides, and it'd be fun to get to know everyone better.
