Great environment, great perks and benefits, but bad execution of strategy
Great environment, great perks and benefits, but bad execution of strategy
Great benefits. The shuttle saves me a ton of cash. You'll be hard pressed to find more subject area experts in the spaces that Yahoo competes in.
Management seems impotent to capitalize on Yahoo's talent. Constant reorgs keep you from being unable to get anything done. Ineffectual upper management tends to trickle down to lower management.
Stop with all the reorgs and stick with one strategy and see it through to completion. Panama was a failure, APT has been a failure, and now, just as the search technology is getting really good, we undermine ourselves with the Bing deal.
