It both helps and hurts - just yesterday Yelp admitted that the "Unicorn bubble" was hurting their profits:

For some reason it has only occurred to them now that hiring for offices in cities other than San Francisco might help them get talented developers.

"A Yelp spokesperson told Re/code that to combat the hiring problems it has plans to hire people in other offices across the country."

They're not opening up new offices, they're looking to hire where they already have offices like New York and Phoenix.

Unfortunately all of Yelp's other offices (other than Hamburg) are exclusively sales offices (i.e. no engineering)
