Strong Devs, Terrible Management
Strong Devs, Terrible Management
Good technical infrastructure despite being written in Perl. I would give Yahoo! 2 1/2 stars if it were available. Despite the poor management culture, there were some strong developers and the deployment system was one of the best I've seen.
Very poor management culture. The emphasis was entirely on what was needed to advance careers rather than provide an excellent product for the customer. Poor decision-making occurred in technical challenges. If you can keep your head down and not get involved in politics, it might be a decent place to work.
Wipe the slate clean? There seemed to be a 'sinking ship, grab what you can to pad your resume' for the next job atmosphere. This is the primary reason for the low score.
