Pros: Good perks are given to employees, and they feel motivated to work on hacks and events like that. The culture is its biggest asset.

Cons: Too slow decisions taken by the management.

Pros: Very good facilities like a gym, transport, tuck shops, a good office environment, superannuation, and gratuity.

Cons: As of May 2010: * Non-technical managers ruin the lives of hard-core engineers with their bull-shit. * Program managers are the most redundant set of people around. * Management is not at all transparent about their intentions, decisions, or roadmaps. * Promotions are highly unfair! A stupid 9-box model is used to evaluate employees, which is just used as a mechanism to throw bull-shit at you about your performance. * The closer you are to Directors and people above in the hierarchy, the more visibility you get, and awards and bonuses are showered on you. * Managers hired from outside Yahoo!, from various services companies, are the ones who have spoilt the true Yahoo! culture. * Most of the good and core work happens in Sunnyvale, and Bangalore just follows footsteps, though the CEO keeps on harping on the point of making Bangalore a "center of excellence". It has turned out to be a "center of BS". * If you are really keen about Yahoo!, go apply to Sunnyvale. Very, very few teams in Bangalore do solid engineering work. * Sunnyvale builds all the core stuff of a product, and Bangalore just replicates it for various markets. Starting my career with Yahoo! was one of the biggest mistakes. I missed out on learning a lot of good programming, which I would have otherwise learnt well in smaller companies. Most of the code in Yahoo! is very hacky and has been very poorly written.

Pros: Get to work on cool products.

Cons: Constant fear of mass firing, as the company is not stable.
