Yelp, the online platform that connects consumers with local businesses, employs roughly 4,440 people worldwide. Over the most recent reporting period the company added 384 new hires while 317 employees departed, resulting in a modest net increase in staff. This steady growth suggests continued investment in both product development and customer-facing functions. The organization’s headcount spans corporate, technical, and field roles that support its marketplace of ratings, reviews, and advertising solutions.
Sales and Support is Yelp’s largest function, accounting for about 2,328 employees, or just over half of total headcount. Engineering follows with 655 team members (nearly 15 %), highlighting the importance of product and platform development. Business Management (531) and Marketing & Product (431) together represent approximately 22 % of the workforce, supporting strategy, partnerships, and go-to-market programs. Smaller yet essential groups such as Finance & Administration (146), Human Resources (116), Operations (101), Information Technology (56), and Legal (17) round out the organization, ensuring governance and internal enablement.
Yelp maintains a widely distributed workforce: 2,618 employees are based outside its primary office hubs, illustrating a substantial remote or regional presence. The largest physical office is in San Francisco with 519 employees, followed by New York (372), Phoenix (337), and Chicago (272). Additional concentrations are found in Los Angeles (160) and smaller teams in Toronto, London, Austin, and Denver. This mix of hub offices and remote talent supports coverage across North America and key international markets while providing flexibility in staffing and operations.
