Anyone like me signed the Yelp offer but hasn't onboarded yet? Contacted HR yesterday but hasn't had any update yet. The original onboarding date was start of April and was pushed to June. HR said that was for all the new hires. Now with the layoffs, anyone heard any news yet? #layoff #yelp
Yelp is a toxic af company bail bail bail
I would have a back up just in case..
I heard Google maybe acquire yelp, by the time when you’re joining, you will become a googler.
Google has their own platform that doesn't necessarily feed off small business black mail.
Google will definitely not acquire Yelp... They have no need to
Sorry this is happening to you OP, but yea I’d agree your best bet to keep applying for other jobs ;(
me in the same boat, joining in May. with the ongoing layoffs, i doubt the new offers may get rescinded. However, do update if you get any more update from the HR .
Did your start date get postponed as well?
well, I am moving from India to London, my joining would anyway have been delayed due to Visa delays coz of lockdown, havent inquired with HR yet, atleast not till I have the Visa. of the 1000 layoffs, how many in Engineering ?
This is bad news for new hires. Look for a new job probably is the best call
OP - are you joining in June or any changes here too ?
Mine too changed to August.
I dont think so. the HR once said, no remote onboarding, I dont have any update though
Did you guys hear back?
Yelp had layoffs yesterday. They’re likely talking with legal and finance about if they can bring on additional new hires. I’d start planning for a backup, just in case.
