Yelp Employee Reviews for Software Engineer

"I worked at Yelp for around 9 months. I was very saddened to be laid off in April 2020 due to the pandemic. Yelp's customers are generally small businesses and restaurants, both sectors of which were hit particularly hard by the shelter in place. The culture there was wonderful. Everyone was a team player and always willing to help others. I was assigned a mentor on my team from the very first day and he was invaluable in helping me get up to speed. Meetings were always just as long as necessary and a lot of communication was done over email to avoid excessive meetings. My manager was compassionate and devoted to helping me improve as both a person and an employee. I loved working there and hope to return some time in the future."
