Yahoo

It is an undeniable privilege to work at a pillar of the Internet. Everyone has heard of Yahoo, which feels great if your previous employers are flyspecks on the map.

I worked with the nicest, most helpful, and most collaborative people in my career. There are many smart people willing to explain things, work with you, and generally help, which also feels great.

The perks at HQ are very nice. The gym, free food, and plentiful events keep you going. The free shuttle bus made my commute possible.

Top management makes a big show of being transparent and tries to keep the employee base informed of what's going on.

Everyone has heard of Yahoo, and many people have negative opinions that they are eager to share.

This extends to the media. Heck, it starts in the media.

The bench seating undeniably removes barriers to collaboration. Your co-workers are right on top of you. It is distracting and requires much mental effort to handle. I would rather spend my mental energy creating better solutions.

Please stop listening to loud minority investors. This is probably aimed more at the board of directors than company officers.
