      AOL employees not welcome by Yahoo Technology team based in Sunnyvale.

      Pros

      * Most of the employees are passionate about their job. * Started offering free lunch to mimic the benefit offered on Yahoo Sunnyvale campus.

      Cons

      * Morale is in the negative range and hit the lowest point possible by end of 2017. * Minimum 2 layoffs every year, followed by reorganization etc. * Technology decisions are now made by the new Yahoo CTO and his directs based in Sunnyvale. If you are an Engineer based on the east coast, you will be considered a remote and *dispensable* asset.

      As if you couldn't tell from the reviews...

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Lot of opportunity, especially if you're top talent - Great work/life balance - Solid benefits

      Cons

      - Read the other reviews... it's ex-Yahoo folks complaining about how awesome Yahoo used to be (prior to Oath) and ex-Aolers complaining about the attitude of ex-Yahoos (post Oath). The merger was/is pretty rough and the culture reflects that -- we're far from a unified single company - Company is bloated on headcount and non-profitable products, hence that all the layoff talks

      getting much worse

      Software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      good compensation and benefits free food

      Cons

      Very bad, unprofessional management that only play politics to survive; Quarterly performance review (QPR) system gives unlimited power to management to do whatever they want with engineers; Unrealistic QPR goals that impossible to achieve gives management full freedom to put any QPR score based on manager personal decision; Up to 5% hidden layoffs by performance due to QPR score every quarter without severance package; Lots of great engineers have been fired by “performance” just because of managers wanted to get rid of inconvenient people; Due to bell curve inside team (low 5% should go every quarter) there is no team work at all. Nobody shares any knowledge and help; No work/life balance; Culture is good for new college grads and interns but very bad for senior engineers with knowledge and experience; So if you are senior engineer please stay away from this company. You will not be appreciated and rewarded;
