Yahoo Work Experiences
- 1.0Don't do contract work for YahooService Reliability Engineer • Former EmployeeSunnyvale, California, United StatesMay 10, 2013Pros: Yahoo treats regular employees well. They are trying to implement new management techniques like "Tribal Leadership" and "KanBan." The free food is a nice perk, but it really helps the company since there are no nearby restaurants. To a contractor, it felt like regular employees were satisfied overall with their jobs.Cons: My immediate managers were terrible. Hands-off is okay, but they gave no feedback or misleading information. In retrospect, I felt I was being set up to fail. For contractors, tribal leadership means you get voted off the island before you even have a chance to see where the island is.
