TLDR: I wouldn't work here if I were you - Anonymous employee Yext Employee Review

- I feel very confident the majority of this company is underpaid. Like, actually underpaid. And under-promoted. It's so unhealthy. Makes you feel even worse when they announce a $1M/month new lease, but you can't argue for a raise or promotion. - There is more internal bureaucracy nonsense here than at the Trump White House. The top-down decision making often feels as erratic as well. - Management does not seem to care that people are leaving in droves, or are making no concerted effort to intervene. - The CEO is actually in love with himself. It's honestly amazing to see him get up on stage and talk. Especially when he wears that adorable small leather jacket and his bedazzled Louboutin sneakers. Think: Gilderoy Lockhart. - The culture people loved (that Yext still tries to pretend exists) is very quickly unraveling. Unless you think a state school fraternity has a thoughtful and empowering culture. Then maybe this is the company for you! - If you want to transfer internally, you're better off transferring out. It rarely pays off. - Did I mention the terrible lack of diversity? It's like the Vineyard Vines casting call over here. - They restructured the entire company following a number of high-profile departures. They didn't hire anyone to backfill - they just merged whole teams under existing leadership. It is a huge, hot mess. - There's a prevalent culture of people being stand-offish unless you have seniority, equal tenure, or went to Duke and/or Princeton. Honestly if you're reading this and you went to either of these schools, you probably could get hired to the exec team with 0 years of experience. Or, if you worked at Salesforce. If you went to Princeton AND worked at Salesforce... game over you win. They even used to require a degree from a "prestigious university" in their job postings to really make it obvious. If you’re considering, just be smart - talk to a current employee. Ask about things like career growth, diversity, compensation and culture. You’ll be better off if you do.
