Free gourmet coffee. Great gym.
Management is clueless. There are way too many employees in Yahoo! now who are interested solely in bettering their resumes. There is no interest whatsoever in company profitability or advancement of existing strengths. You will find a great example of this in two failed products, both launched simultaneously because two groups of employees thought they could do it better. I am talking about mash.yahoo.com and 360.yahoo.com, both competing with many other "Web 2.0" products.
Take Panama: Some fathead employees convinced management that they should waste >1000 man-years to rewrite an already existing product. Instead of bettering pieces that did not work well, they let the existing system painfully burn to the ground, letting millions of dollars in revenue go.
They are doing the same with Apex. No wonder they are losing the old-timers like mice from a sinking ship.
Play your strengths.
