*Work - Life Balance: -Probably can't be beat at most other workplaces. -Flexible schedules and remote work. *Company Culture: -For the most part, people are nice and pleasant to work with.
*Turbulent Management and High Turnover: -Have had 4 different managers during my time here. -Management prioritizes an unquestioned loyalty to "Yelp" as a company, which results in the neglect of their own teams, as their needs and advocacy are sidelined in favor of preserving the company's interest. *Compensation Issues: -Lack of clarity/transparency in compensation structures and schedules (bordering on misinformation). -A notable incident involving an error made by them when issuing an incorrect compensation letter that was ultimately not honored, leading to a prolonged dispute and eventual pay cut. *Increasing Workload with Decreasing Pay: -Following layoffs and terminations, workloads have increased without corresponding adjustments in pay. *Neglected Career Development: -Set backs / stagnancy in growth because you essentially have to start over each time you get a new manager (which has been about once per year).
Does anyone have a code snipit for a call to Yelp? With just the parameters for the client ID and API key (and whatever else I’m missing) with response output is fine. For an example maybe you can utilize GET https://api.yelp.com/v3/categories/{alias} I’ve tried a few different things but can’t se...Read more

Damn what an amazing app! You can do yelp, groupon, ticketmaster, expedia(hotel/flights) and e-commerce all in one fully integrated app. I wish we have something like that in the US.

Out if any company, surprised to see Reddit crippled their mobile site to force everyone to download their app. I guess business people are in control of Reddit now Soon you will become Yelp.
Are we all just going to sit back and pretend like people aren't over paid enough to fix your app from crashing often and not being able to click on the locations with pins on the map? Need to zoom in and tap a bunch of times. It's been happening for ever and I know it's not just my phone. #teamRTO ...Read more

So many bad managers just survive by just continuously moving from one team to another and than moving from company to company. We should create a Yelp like review system for Managers so that they can be avoided. Either as a Blind feature or some other app. We can remove line Manager as they have ...Read more

Funny to see all or most of the seemingly harmless apps/services we signed up for (giving up our data) back when we were kids and thought these were simple apps created by a 1-2 person teams and not big “enterprises”, are now riding on that personal data to the billion-dollar islands of investments ...Read more
