Business Outlook
Pros
Wonderful facilities and location, excellent benefit packages, friendly workers with a sense of fun. Some teams doing great things with new products. Some very talented individual engineers. Very strong CEO (also a con).
Cons
CEO has way too much control. Fingers in all pies, with no apparent trust of her lieutenants, or others further down the hierarchy. Lack of real leadership at all levels below CEO leaves a gaping hole in the company. No one knows what Yahoo! is any more. Ever-changing priorities and re-orgs make goal setting meaningless, and leave people feeling vulnerable, and thus disengaged. This is a culture of 'put your heads down and try not to be noticed too much...unless you are praising the CEO'.
