Pros

It is a company where you can have good work-life balance, but only if you survive. Because at Yahoo, it's all about layoffs.

Cons
  1. You'll be expecting layoffs all the time.
  2. Too many managers, 50%.
  3. Too many changes in the name of strategy, but nobody is sure if they'll survive the next layoff.
  4. It's difficult to change teams in a fair way. If you have connections, then it works.
  5. You'll have old technology. New stuff is never meant for Yahoo.
  6. It's a sinking ship. Layoffs are next.
