As a product designer I’ve received offers from Yelp and Postmates. TCs are pretty similar but before that what would your choice be as a designer?
Any reason?
I worked for Yelp as Ana account Executive, and I hated it. They are really cheap and oh very little...benefits were good, that’s about it..
Unfortunately Yelp treats sales employees very differently to engineering and product. Sorry for your bad experience :(
Yelp.. sales and product get treated differently so ignore feedback from sales.. also postmates business model is busted...
Postmates! :)
How's data science and engineering there?
Personally, it's good and now is the right time to get in. There's a lot of data that needs to be put to good use. There's a new design team as well and you can see the revamped apps and website! Can't say much about Yelp but Postmates has a lot to do and if you like challenges, it would be the right choice!
I had an offer from both. Choose Yelp and definitely made the right choice.
Yelp has a ton more users. 100m on web and 30m on mobile apps. The challenges are greater.
The company is about ten years older too...which may be a positive or a negative, depending on your perspective.
+1 for Postmates. Shifting internal ecosystem. Things are moving in the right direction again.
Postmates. A lot more upside and creative freedom. PM me I wanna know what team
What upsides lol?
It's a good time to be a designer at Yelp at the moment. Lots of changes and potential for growth/working on cool projects. Obviously biased though.
Yelp, do not go to Postmates. Look them up on blind, lots of craziness going on there
Tell us about it.
