Pros

Some good, talented people. Benefits and salary are probably on lower range of average for industry. Multiple office locations across world.

Cons

A case study in how not to run a company or manage people. Appalling that senior managers all the way to the top are paid so well for total ineptness. The Peter principle thrives. Yahoo ranked as 7th worst US company in 2015, but they are striving for first place in 2016, and they are on track to meet that goal. Accountants run every aspect of operations, and the dogmatic focus is increased profitability. Clients are viewed as enemies or rubes to be taken advantage of, and subcontractors and vendors are treated like dogs.
