Got an offer from Yelp London recently. I’ve read encouraging things about wlb and work culture. Is that accurate? Don’t want to find myself involved in office politics which pretty much is an active element in daily routine at Amazon. I work in data analytics so wondering if there are Yelp folks here who could provide some inputs. TC: £60k New TC: £85k YoE 10 #yelp#worklifebalance
Generally, the culture and wlb are pretty great here. Of course, you will find some office politics and what not, especially higher up in the organization, but no place is free from that. From what I've heard, it should be worlds better than Amazon! The ICs are grenally really supportive and helpful and down to earth, even with the more permanent switch to remote work. It can depend on what Org you are in too. There are multiple analytics teams in the Product Org (including the product and experimentation Data Science team). Then there are the machine learning groups in the Applied Machine Learning team which is part of the Engineering Org. I think there is more political stuff that happens on the Product side, but it's relative. Overall, what I said above applies to both Product and Engineering. It sounds like if you are coming from a Data Analytics background you'd probably be in the Product Org. Happy to answer other questions. You can DM me too if you'd like! Hope you accept the offer, we need more analytics people!
May I ask what you current role is? SWE?

Congrats on your offer. I'm currently interviewing for Yelp London as well and I too have been reading mostly positive things about WLB. The people I got to talk to so far were super friendly and also seemed enthusiastic about the people working there when asked about. Is "New TC" the offer they made? Mind sharing the offer breakdown as well as the position you applied for?
