Pros

For a company with at most 60-80 people at any given point in time, it is pretty cool what Yummly has achieved in terms of raw value-creation for its users attributable to the smart people and well-organized teams at Yummly. Armed with a clear vision, a unique user base and the right mindset, Yummly is geared for success and in the coming years capturing this value created. - Experience: You get a breadth and depth of experiences, working at a company young and agile you get to decide what you want to help out with. With Yummly being a young company you experience first hand what it takes to run a startup - from an engineering standpoint- Backend infrastructure, data pipelines, Machine Learning, engineering frontend applications, design principles - all fantastic experience. - Transparency & openness: Yummly has been transparent as to why certain decisions are made and been open about reasons behind making business decisions all while taking inputs from different folks. Pretty flat org structure. - Culture: Having only worked at Yummly remotely (thanks, covid) I can tell that the culture is strong, non-formal and open. It shines through to end users in the products coming out. - Immigration: Yummly was helpful with immigration things (H1B) and really knows how to take care of its employees whether it be immigration or assisting with relocation - Parent Company: Unique relationship with Whirlpool, the company that acquired Yummly; Yummly continues to have autonomy retaining its culture all while being a strategic acquisition for the Juggernaut that is Whirlpool. All the benefits of being a silicon valley startup without the cons.
