Pros

Yahoo is (was) a great company. The work environment is good, the people are smart, and there's opportunity for high impact.

Also, you get good perks, benefits, and a competitive salary.

Cons

Getting rid of the search team, I'm not so sure about. Yahoo wants to become a smaller company. Will their technical leadership stick around?

Advice to Management

I don't know what Yahoo leadership is doing.

Selling off search may be a smart business decision on its own, but do they realize that all the talent (search team or not) is leaving with them?
