They were once a great place. If you go there, go in eyes open and be careful who you trust.

Pros

The pay and benefits are great. And Yahoo is a great name to have on your resume.

Cons

Horrible culture. A lot of incompetent people that rose quickly in the early days hold management positions and keep making bad decisions. Business units are too siloed. Serious inability to cooperate between business units and/or functions with a unit. Yahoo! Hotjobs is the absolute worst business unit. All management there are buddies & they are all incompetent.

Yahoo! Past performance does not ensure current success. Too may hires of folks who have never nor could.

Pros

It used to be a great place to work

Cons

Too many pissing matches at levels above you keeping any progress from occurring. For instance HRC why? If there is an budget why the micromanaging? Platforms? Platforms do not work. Why does it takes months to release features - platforms. If properties were able to build innovative products without having the restrictive nature of platforms then yahoo would be more interesting place to work. As it is now it is like crawling vs the pace it used to conduct run. May it run like a 1000 small BUs and yahoo will innovate and lead again. Sure that seems hard but how well are you doing now?
