Pros

Good brand, good work-life balance, opportunity to work on internet technologies, good compensation. Compared to other internet companies in India, Yahoo has comparatively a lot of core product development in India, and he will get the opportunity to build cool things.

Cons

Financial struggles of the company and frequent leadership and organizational changes cause uncertainty and insecurity among employees. Once you are in a particular product/team, it is not easy to change teams, and hence learning opportunities are limited.

Advice to Management

Focus on production innovation rather than building platforms.

Provide inter-team/product transfers to enhance the learning opportunities for employees.

Provide a clear vision and strategy on products/properties.
