Pros

It is a fun company to work with. Feel great to be associated with it -- All these feelings are only for a while! Your honeymoon period in Yahoo! can be for a long time. Managers are usually fun and good to work with. Very understanding, very supportive. Benefits are good compared to other companies !

Cons

The process is spread over all over the world. Yet the treatment given is so very different. The work can get boring after while. New Managers are boring idiots! They hire outside people for Managerial positions(only in few departments)

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
