Pros

The perks are pretty awesome. Free gym, food, phone, shuttle, swag, events, and sport courts.

Culture is still good, and there are still some great engineers who will teach you lots of cool stuff.

Cons

The easiest way to get a promotion or a raise is by leaving the company for some time and coming back as a new hire. Or work 14 hours a day and suck your manager's balls.

Yahoo is bleeding talent. The VPs/Directors fight for power and don't collaborate. It is not uncommon to see two different organizations building the same product instead of collaborating.
