Pros

The Company has a lot of heart. People who have been there a long time are loyal and motivated for it to succeed more because of their history with the company. The Company's products are wonderful (apps, digital magazines, website) but they don't put much thought into marketing what's working--they continue to market the "same ol same ol" so unfortunately, most of the world isn't aware that the digital magazines exist, which is a waste.

Cons

--Marissa makes all decisions (the good, the bad and the ugly) with very little input from her leadership staff --HR is a complete mess (little to no strategy, constantly restructuring support functions, constant management churn) --Its exhausting to work for Yahoo. It starts out seeming like an adventure, and then by the time you're in the thick of it and you're invested, you start to notice your opinion doesn't matter, your input doesn't matter, they'll never change, and the way they are is how they'll always be.

Pros

1. Pay is decent, but there is no annual increase unless you get a promotion. 2. Most engineers are knowledge and approachable. 3. Free food, but you have to line up for 30 mins at least to get food.

Cons

1. Too many reorgs. Shuffling resources every three months. I had 3 managers during 8 months there. 2. Too many layoffs. People just disappear for no reason. 3. Managers suck! They are the ones who should be let go of!! They make terrible decision and all they do is to push you and make Yahoo a sweatshop. 4. Products suck. Who the heck is still using Yahoo? The CEO tries to sugar coat bad things and brain wash the employees as much as possible.
