Yelp Reviews

Pros

Great opportunities for career growth A supportive team even when you work remotely Yearly international trips

Cons

Working around 60 hours per week Under paid

Pros

Got a foot in the door with tech and worked with some great people. Plenty of benefits and a great social side

Cons

The product is horrible. And insanely overpriced. While some good, senior staff were abismal. Regularly fed false information and a hugely creepy, cultish atmosphere.

Advice to Management

Be nicer, be more honest, lower your prices.

Pros

The flexibility is amazing - most days I work offsite from lovely cafes. The hours are not fixed - just as long as you get things done.

Cons

Pros

Advice to Management

1. Stop promoting only white people. It's incredibly obvious. 2. Grow up -- flirting with your employees is embarrassing and unprofessional 3. Take a good look at the morality of how you're running your company. 4. Your trophy winners are quitting -- shouldn't that tell you something? 5. Stop bullying people when they choose to go elsewhere. Don't tell me I'm 'giving up' or 'if you can't be successful/happy here,...

Pros

The Yelp Creative Team is a small group of designers and writers with big ideas. Impromptu brainstorm sessions, animated gifs, and afternoon breaks to the SFMOMA get our ideas flowing. We collaborate daily to make work that stands out, but something’s missing from our team — and we’re hoping you’re the final piece to our puzzle.
