used to be a great company to work for. now, very questionable.
Pros
flexible work-life balance , autonomy to build your work day how it's best for you. good opportunity to learn all aspects of Digital advertising, as Yahoo has both O&O properties, and a DSP. Opportunity to work with many ad product offerings, such CTV, DOOH, Audio. Video, Display, Native, Rich media. Direct and programmatic buying.
Cons
very bureaucratic system for reviews/promotions/career advancement. many layers of management to break through and decisions are often hidden behind multiple layers of management. rewards are often given to those who play their political cards right, rather than the quality of work alone. business model was changed significantly in the last year as leadership is looking to get numbers in shape for an IPO. Very disappointing to see a lot of good talent let go in mass layoffs in February and July of 2023.
