Yahoo Program Manager reviews

Yahoo's technology is old and is constantly in catchup mode. Google, Facebook, etc passed Yahoo and have never looked back. Because Yahoo is always playing catchup, to get ahead they need massive releases that never fully work out. Playing from behind also drives product releases to happen before the product and services are fully ready. Yahoo also suffers from too many cooks in the kitchen and poor integration of past mergers. For instance, the search and display sales teams spent the first 3 years apart after Yahoo acquired Overture. The technology is still not integrated. This put Yahoo at a disadvantage when the combination of these assets should have been an advantage.

long commutes for the many people that live in San Francisco. Management and bereaucratic mess where divisions have competing missions. That results in diminishing morale and antagonistic workplace. For example, sales and product are on very different pages, without clear directions from both sides. And of course there are people who shouldn't be there at all, incompetent war mongers who waste precious resources.
