Okay place to work, but it needs work
Okay place to work, but it needs work
A lot of bright people to work with in Engineering and some of the other groups.
In general, a "fun" atmosphere being in and around the campus.
Too few decisions were made at the time they were needed. By the time they were made, the opportunity was sometimes lost.
HR folks seem to be in over their heads in working with Sr. Management and employees in general. I received advice one time that was in direct conflict with CA. law regarding the issue. Another time, I got the "warm and fuzzy" solution to a situation that called for far better and seasoned coaching.
Overall, I rate them as the lowest skilled in Yahoo. These two instances were enough to have me go to an outside HR organization to get the assistance I need to effectively manage in this area.
Get Sr. Management to make faster and more thoughtful decisions and re-examine the roles and skills of HR. There are too many with too little to offer.

There were two rounds of phone screens, followed by five to seven rounds of in-person interviews. The in-person interviews spanned two days. Two additional rounds were required on top of the initial five to address evaluation gaps in earlier stages.
