Nice and friendly work environment, lovely interior design, and you are allowed to work on nearly anything you want.
I'm somewhat anti-social and dislike big crowds, which didn't fit well with Yelp's extremely outgoing people. Also, Yelp is not a huge cash cow, so there isn't nearly as much money to go around compared to Dropbox or Google, although that's not the company's fault.
I was paid pretty well for an intern, but I hear that the company's benefits package is weak. It seems much easier to get promoted here than in places like Google, though.
Also, San Francisco is expensive.
