Pros

- Worked with some truly great and talented people (many of whom have since left) - Solid benefits package (free lunch, RRSP match, and strong health insurance)

Cons

It’s hard to know where to begin. The company often feels short-sighted, prioritizing external perception and industry “noise” over building a genuinely strong product and long-term value. There’s a heavy focus on brand image, especially on social media platforms like LinkedIn, rather than addressing core product and customer experience issues. From a product standpoint, there are real challenges around pricing, service quality, and overall competitiveness. Internally, decision-making can be inconsistent, and accountability isn’t always clear when things go wrong. Workplace dynamics can sometimes reward politics over performance. There have also been cost-cutting decisions, such as shifting roles offshore, that created operational challenges and later required reversal, which added to instability.

Pros

Yotpo moves fast, is always improving, and has a team of superstars that put more energy in their work than I’ve seen anywhere

Cons

Still operates at the speed and agility of an early startup. Don’t expect cushy easy job.

Pros

Despite the overwhelming amount of issues, I did meet some colleagues who were kind and smart.

Cons

I was at Yotpo for a while, so I saw firsthand how unfair and poorly they operated. It's been said before but if you are a person of color, you will have a very hard time here. They form groups around one identity and favoritism. You won't get promoted or ever feel like you belong. There have been multiple instances where I've felt extremely uncomfortable. Leadership once encouraged us to reach out to customers, asking for support on political causes personal to them. This is extremely unprofessional and inappropriate. In the office, some colleagues would bring up divisive topics often and try to force their opinions on others. There were constant changes from leadership that lacked thought and follow through. Instead of thinking about what was best for employees, leadership made decisions that led to burnout, broke trust, and deepened resentment. One great example is deciding to hire multiple people and then 2 months later announcing a layoff - forcing those remaining to work twice as hard. I've seen peers get mistreated by their managers too. It broke my heart to watch kind, hardworking people be gaslit, spoken down to, and disrespected. There's a reason so many have left and are continuing to. Look to the numbers as proof, and do with that what you will.
