Good Culture, Shifting Processes
Good Culture, Shifting Processes
Yelp has set up best practices and an engineering culture.
No blame policy.
Conservative approach to product design
Systems and methods are always in flux (how to use product management tools, seating arrangements, etc.).
Be bold. Be aggressive.
The market is very big, and the only reason it's not under Yelp's belt is because (IMHO) of the conservative approach to product design.
Aggressively cut clutter from the app and prioritize what users prefer.
