Working at Yelp has been a challenge. The upside was a motivating job, unboring activity, a lot of opportunities to develop.
Inconvénients
The downside was a very competitive environment, quite toxic sometimes, where all the people that didn’t fit were very quickly dismissed.

Thanks for your feedback! We are so glad to hear that you saw a lot of growth and development opportunities during your time as a Community Manager here at Yelp. However, we're so sorry to hear that the environment wasn't always representative of our values. We work hard to cultivate a positive, inspiring, and uplifting culture, and we are certainly concerned to hear that wasn't always your experience. We invite you to share any additional feedback with us by emailing employeefeedback@yelp.com. We appreciate your help as we work to make Yelp an even better place to work for all!
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.
Inconvénients
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.
