Yelp: great people, poor tech culture
Yelp: great people, poor tech culture
- Great company culture in terms of working relationships.
- Healthy internal communication.
- Highly skilled engineering team.
- Massive amounts of technical debt.
- Weak business model, high customer churn.
- Can't keep senior talent, which exacerbates the technical debt issue.
- Passionless.
- Unstable stock.
In Silicon Valley, you either keep reaching for the stars, or you tread water long enough for your competitors to knock you out of the market.
Yelp needs passion. Google and Facebook will continue their efforts to steal your lunch.

Friendly interviewers. First, I had to pass a programming challenge, which was a nice task. I had a technical and behavioral interview grouped into one block and a cultural fit conversation, which was optional.
