Management is trying to do its best, but it's too hard to get back the old glory.

Pros

Inspiring smart people around.

Good recognition if you work hard.

Cons

Management is making a move towards being a media company. Even though it's the only chance for Yahoo to survive, for engineers, it's a little disheartening. The worldly view of Yahoo sucks, and Yahoo is not able to change it.

Advice to Management

It's a hard puzzle to solve. Everybody talks about how Yahoo is going down, but nobody seems to have a clue if given a chance, or nobody wants to give Yahoo a chance. So, screw those people and move on with the current strategy. This is the last chance, and hopefully, it will work.
