Good Learning Environment, Unsure Future

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Room to learn and grow, professional development reimbursement opportunity, great for entry-level or new college graduates, decent compensation package (full benefits for individual and dependents, 401k, quarterly bonus with company and individual percentage ranges, free daily lunches, PTO, paid holidays), opportunity for all-company conference travel twice a year to both domestic and international locations (varies each year), ability for the most part to have candid conversations with management, Flexible hours within reason and with manager approval

Cons

Base salaries could be more competitive, Not much opportunity for growth if associate level or higher, competitive in terms of ladder climbing, often promotions are not based on concrete reasoning and same thing with terminations of employees, Product teams are not compelling and company deliverables to public customers are lacking which does not provide long-term confidence in market growth, Not very diverse in regards to demographics, Long hours for most employees (45+ hrs/wk), Company revenue highly dependent on browser search engine contracts which is declining in user base/market share. Not sustainable without desktop browser product.

Great people, terrible executive leadership

Pros

Generally very high level of software engineering skill, highly collaborative, very flexible and distributed workforce. Engineers can, for the most part, work on what most interests them.

Cons

A layer of executive leadership completely divorced from the reality of the market and has no real skills to engineer a new strategy. The software culture is strong, but many tools and policies will seem very old fashion to younger developers. And oh yeah, the Yahoo deal.

Great people but needs help on strategy and leadership

Pros

• Great, smart people • Ability to work on products that are used by millions • Incredibly dedicated community • Ability to travel and work remotely • Good compensation for working in open source • More transparent than other companies with the ability to have an open dialogue with management and co-workers.

Cons

• Because of the work remotely policy offices (at least in the Bay Area) were empty. If you like to work in person with your co-workers you will struggle here. • Far more corporate and "big company" than I expected with all the politics, bureaucracy and indecision I had experienced at large companies I had worked for. • Strategy on my own product and company overall was unclear. This made the culture tense and sometimes toxic. • Too many things to do and not enough resources.
