Pros

Yummly is a place of extraordinarily smart, friendly and passionate people. Everyone is extremely nice and supportive: the organization is really flat and most of business and technology decisions are being made by teams that are working on those features. Yummly is a Food Technology company focused on using cutting edge tech to solve real problems for people who love cooking. The depth of the technologies we use is amazing: as an example Ingredient Recognition is currently recognizing thousands of ingredients through your phone's camera. It's like SeeFood from the show Silicon Valley, only in real life. As another example - Yummly is building the real Connected Kitchen (with some help from our friends at Whirlpool) where all the appliances are talking to each other and your Yummly Apps - this is the real IoT used to solve an actual problem in many families. Finally, Yummly has one of the best company cultures in Silicon Valley. People work together and play together. Everyone is always willing to help and goes that extra mile to take care of coworkers/friends. It's truly amazing to work in that environment every day.

Cons

Yummly is currently residing in a WeWork space while building out its permanent residence in San Carlos. This situation presents a couple of issues and inconveniences, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and everyone is looking forward to move to the awesome new space.

Pros

I started at Yummly in the very early days and stayed 2 years post-acquisition by Whirlpool. I love this company so much...the people, the product, the autonomy and respect given to all. I'm only leaving because after almost 9 years, it is time for me to explore an opportunity in a totally different industry. Yummly is fantastic place for career growth and development. The culture, people, and work environment are like none other and the organization is very flat. They are working on a diverse set of products and advanced technologies (machine learning, IoT, etc), so the work is always really exciting. The people are the best mix of intelligent, hard-working, kind, and compassionate. The leadership team is an extremely well rounded group who are extremely approachable and transparent about every change (both the good and the not so good). The culture is extremely food-centric, so there's always someone testing a recipe, talking about the new restaurant they tried, sharing tips about the best new beers etc. The benefits are as good as they come. Unlimited PTO, generous 401k matching, deep discounts on appliances etc. Generally very good work life balance across teams.

Cons

You get tons of autonomy here, so if you need micromanagement and constant guidance, it may not be the place for you.

Pros

I could go on about their fantastic benefits, their amazing location and their unparalleled product. But the real reason Yummly is the best place to work in the bay area is that the people there aren't just a group of people with the same business goals; They're a family. Always room for growth, outward and upward. Friendly culture that encourages asking tough questions and rewards finding unusual solutions.

Cons

Their current office space is a bit small. especially for a team that is growing so fast.
