Pros

Your peers at Yahoo are the best. Some of the smartest people in the industry are there. It's a fun environment.

Cons

Very long hours and work becomes a part of your life.

Some of the managers are not qualified to lead. They are technical people who were promoted to management, which isn't always the best for managing people. Proper training is needed.

For engineering projects, they need a fast lane. Experimental projects should be able to get on this fast lane and not have to go through all of the layers that a normal project goes through.

Advice to Management

Start managing projects properly.
