      Untrustworthy, political management - Senior Software Engineer (IC3) Yelp Employee Review

      Pros

      One of the worst companies to work with. No pros about working here, unless you are incompetent and like workplace politics. You can either choose to save yourself by learning from others mistakes or join Yelp and suffer.

      Cons

      Untrustworthy managers. Anything you speak with anybody at Yelp is broadcasted to everybody else. I would advice with great emphasis: do not speak much. Do not tell your manager anything. They are creating a file against you to fire you whenever they want. Managers at yelp have only one job: create files and micro-manage. Be very careful of old employees- they are not your friends. The overall culture is very toxic and people rarely stick around. The ones who stay are part of this toxic culture. The HR is against you. The "policies" are just a way to fire people. Nobody follows a single workplace policy like respect, no racism, diversity etc.

      Pros

      If you love your city, it can be very fun. Remote work is helpful and you'll make great relationships with fellow community managers, who are typically wonderful people.

      Cons

      As others have said, upper management is extremely out of touch with reality, including the realities of small businesses post-COVID. Pay is very under market for the level of work. Values are consistently preached but only selectively honored.

      Thanks for sharing your experience after spending so many years on our team. We agree that connecting with your city and working alongside wonderful fellow Community Managers are some of the best parts of the role. We're also glad remote work was helpful for you. Favoritism and gossip don't align with the environment we want to create. We want everyone to feel valued and supported as a person. We also want to uplift team members who want to explore roles in other departments. We have many amazing opportunities across Yelp, and we encourage people to pursue the work they care about most. Your feedback helps us grow, and we will share your notes with our leadership team so we can keep making Yelp a better place to work. Thanks for all your hard work over the years, and we wish you the very best in your next role.
