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.

Advice to Management

Stop slashing to make profits for Wall Street. Invest in the future.
