Vantaggi

Huge opportunity to work on many aspects of the business if you are good at your job.

Svantaggi

-The mantra of the company now is that if you aren't adaptable after 3 years of constant change, this might not be the right culture for you. -Due to the lack of resources and unclear headcount strategy for non-revenue producing organizations, re-org's are frequent and processes are nearly impossible to manage. -CEO and Top Management have complete ADD. No clear vision of what Yahoo brings to the market or where the business is going so priorities are constantly in flux. If you work in Talent Acquisition, you are blamed constantly because the businesses you support have no clear direction from their leadership about headcount. -The CEO and Leadership have taken the stance that we need to delight our advertisers instead of create products that are compelling that will go viral. Nobody uses products because of the beautiful advertisements they'll engage with...this is an awful strategy and we're seeing the results of it. -CEO has focused on paying engineering top dollar while sucking the rest of the company bone dry. -Company has lost it's idea of reality on how to attract and retain talent. -Poor work life balance.

Vantaggi

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Svantaggi

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
