Pros
  • Interesting work and challenges.
  • Massive compute and storage scale.
  • Training, conferences, travel ops, just enough to keep things interesting, not overwhelming.
  • Employees treated like "gold". 2x better than any of my past employers.
  • Good work/life balance on most teams.
  • Excellent compensation and benefits.
Cons
  • Lots of churn in management.
  • Lots of churn in staff, mostly old-timers tired of change.
Advice to Management

Yahoo is a complex environment. Learning all the processes, procedures, and technology takes time. Bleeding too many experienced employees stunts progress. One employee with 5 years of experience is worth more than 5 employees with no experience.
