Comfy, somewhat well-paid job
Super comfy job with very little pressure. Building products on an established user base. No super strict hours, very relaxed environment. There is still a community of strong engineers.
Yearly reviews leave very few chances to advance.
Culture is pretty bad, with a very defeatist attitude.
Starting salary was great, but I never received a bump. After 2 years, my salary went from slightly above average to below average.
There is an attitude towards anything built outside of Yahoo! as sub-par. Basically, there are a large number of barriers presented if you want to use an outside framework. "Not built here" attitude.
- Do a better job at keeping talent.
- Take more risks, more moon shots.

Like a normal on-site interview. Initially a phone screen where I was asked about some iOS related conceptual questions. Then a series of onsite interviews where I had 4-5 interviews with different engineers and team managers.
