Mega back door is nice but don't make it a deal breaker. Do the math to figure out what bump in TC would be needed to offset the lost benefit, and then evaluate Yelp offers based on that.
Any idea on this math?
Nope because Yelp would be out of compliance if they did... retirement plans cannot disproportionately benefit one highly paid group of employees and not benefit the rest. There are back office tests for this that are enforced federally iirc.
How are some companies able to offer it then?
Different ratios of employees and how those participants use retirement plans in aggregate. i.e. the sales org would not be able to participate for the most part. And they outnumber engineering by a lot.
