Talented engineers, bad management
The best part about working with Yahoo is the amount of talented engineers you get to work with. I learned a lot about technology just by reading through various mailing lists where these tech experts are educating other Yahoos on best practices. It's a casual, open work environment which helps you relax and maintain a good work-life balance.
The company has no direction. The business units do not have enough control over their engineering resources. Promotion opportunities are less, as most of the business units are not faring very well. It gets worse with the total lack of communication between upper management and employees.
Please decide what YAHOO really is! Is it a media company or a search company? Yahoo could be a very good place to work if they fix the senior management.
