Yelp's business model is quasi-extortionate. Even if the work environment itself was OK, writing code all day for that purpose would certainly leave me feeling pretty crappy about my job. That kind of thing doesn't wash off very easily if you have a conscience.

Whispered rumors of Yelp's business model have been greatly exaggerated. In almost four years I have never seen anything within the company to substantiate them in any way whatsoever.
