Yelp

Yelp is a really great company to work for. Some things that I value:

• Genuinely nice, friendly people across the board. My colleagues are a pleasure to work with and are always looking out for each other. There's no backstabbing or competition like you might find in other companies.
• Challenging problems to solve. The work is hard, and Yelp Engineering is constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
• Good work-life balance. There's no expectation that you work long hours or work on weekends; in fact, it's actively discouraged. Management is very understanding of family needs and personal needs as well.
• Trustworthy, transparent leadership. The leaders at Yelp have to make a lot of hard decisions, but when those decisions are made, it's communicated clearly and with authenticity.
• Remote-friendly. The company has been vastly expanding its resources for remote employees, and it has a good culture of communication to support remote employees.

• The stock price.
• Salary is probably not competitive with some of the bigger companies in the industry.
• Yelp is still going through a lot of growing pains as a company in terms of processes, structure, and scale.
