Yahoo Work Experiences

Where are we going?

Front End Engineer • Current Employee

Sunnyvale, California, United States

Pros: You are allowed to figure out your own ideal balance between work and play. Hours are very flexible, time off is generous. Work early or late as you prefer. Many work from home.

Cons: Poor direction. The last few years have seen projects released with no follow-up or maintenance. Other projects were restarted several times or cancelled close to release. There is no clear plan of attack for Yahoo's comeback. Subsequently, we have lost almost all the "big name" web devs who used to be a selling point to incoming engineers.

Yahoo was the foundation of front-end engineering

Front End Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Front-end engineering, as a profession, started at Yahoo. There's great pride in the work people do. There's little politics at the engineer level. There's opportunity to move around and work with other teams. Yahoo supports open source software.

Cons: Too many layoffs and restructuring. There should be more options, bonuses, and incentives to keep loyal employees.
