Pros

Yahoo! is a great place to work. The work environment in Sydney, especially, is really laid back, and the office location, while out of the way, is pretty cool. I work on interesting projects with some really talented people. Working hours are flexible, and company events are always well organized and lots of fun.

Cons

The company, up until recently, suffered from a serious lack of direction. The hiring process was also questionable.

We're also forced to work with fairly old, entrenched technology rather than having the freedom to branch out and select the best tool for the job.

Flexibility of working hours also swings both ways – sometimes you'll be putting in 60-hour weeks to get something over the line.

Advice to Management

Give us more freedom to make this company a winner.
