Pros

Compensation and opportunity to move within the company to different projects that interest you is really good.

You'll meet lots of smart people in your time with the company.

Many classes are offered and lectures you can attend to improve your skills.

Cons

Ideas from within Yahoo are not really valued. They are constantly playing catch up with small companies when they should be leading the way, exploring new and interesting products given the engineering talent available. The company is a little heavy on the process side, which makes it slow to move.

Advice to Management

Not selling to Microsoft was a great decision.
