Yelp

• Great work-life balance for engineers who are not on call.
• Everyone is very nice.

• No sensical career tracks for software engineers that are more than 2 years out of college.

• Engineering managers are non-technical, inexperienced, clueless, and useless. They are essentially enhanced HR people. Don't get me wrong, this is a great opportunity for engineers who are dying to stop coding and learning new things.

• Compensation is not competitive.

• Yelp has a renege culture; managers and execs love over-promising and then reneging. This includes company holidays canceled last minute, raises, and roadmaps.

• All roadmaps are in a permanent deadlock, which is why Yelp products are not innovative. This will never change.

• Product decisions are not collaborative; it is 100% PM-driven.

Perfect place to work if you're just out of college, you're dying to stop coding, want to do nothing all day, and cash the check every 2 weeks.

You're dying for experienced and driven engineers to leave. I hope that's what it is because then everything makes sense. Otherwise, everything needs to change...
