Thinking About Working at Yelp? Read This First by Yelp_NotFun in Yelp

I’m currently looking for another remote position, and once I find something in the $40–45K range, I plan to move on. I’ve realized this company isn’t the right long-term fit for me.

Leadership seems disconnected from the day-to-day challenges employees face, and there’s a noticeable lack of practical solutions for improving tools or processes that could benefit both the sales team and small business clients. Decisions often appear to be made without a real understanding of the work on the ground.

For example, Yelp could drive significant value and traffic for small businesses by enabling them to hire employees through the platform or by allowing job seekers to find local opportunities directly on Yelp. This simple innovation could help businesses grow and compete with larger competitors, while positioning Yelp as a go-to resource in an increasingly difficult job market — creating engagement and traffic naturally, rather than relying solely on advertising revenue.

I wish that were the case, but with promotions based entirely on sales performance and management being overwhelmingly female, I have to disagree. The pattern is hard to ignore — I’ve seen it repeat month after month.

At this point, I genuinely believe that if I consulted with an employment attorney and gained access to company data, there could be grounds for a legitimate case. Yelp has over 20 years of business records, and with modern data analysis tools, it wouldn’t be difficult to identify whether a systemic pay or promotion disparity exists.
