Anyone mind helping a recent COVID layoff? I’m looking for referral to yelp for a role. Happy to send over my resume / details too. relevant yoe: 4-5
Don’t join Yelp. They just laid off like 30% of their workforce and they were struggling before covid. It’s a sinking ship. If you need a job cuz you are unemployed then I get it but I’d still keep looking after joining yelp.
I’d argue the opposite. Yes, a lot of people left from the layoffs and we lost some talent due to churn. But... to me this signals an opportunity to catch a business while it’s value is irrationally low and with employees churning, lots of opportunity for career growth. Yelp is a great stepping stone to get into the upper echelon of tech companies.
^ this. Business is still strong!
theres a hiring freeze. not sure why’d you want to come here either. Lol
I thought they said they're continuing to hire for engineering positions? At least I thought I heard that in the latest EPS
Oh it’s for a niche role and in Canada where I am so I figured why not, lol
