Yahoo! continues to have plenty of intellectual talent despite waves of re-orgs and layoffs. The CEO and CTO send a clearer message to folks on where to focus and to understand what's important.

Competing fiefdoms and platforms continue to plague the execution of strategies to unify disparate systems. Internal re-orgs continue to impact employee morale. Managers and engineering resources are starved in some areas.

Management needs to have stronger direction on which platforms live or die. Product management needs to articulate a better vision to compete with new and stronger competitors such as FB and Twitter.
