Amazing Place to Work!
Jan 20, 2023 - Campus Programs Coordinator in New York, NYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I have never worked in an environment with such welcoming and thoughtful individuals. I have felt incredibly supported during my time here and have even been encouraged to pursue projects that interest me, even if it is not directly related to my role. The work-life balance here is perfect, but I actually find myself wanting to hang out with my coworkers! I would recommend Yext to anyone.
Cons
No true cons! The management team is very transparent with all of the employees. Though the company is changing a lot, I never feel in the dark.
