Pros

The internet is a fast and challenging environment. Yahoo! is one of the giants of the internet, still #1 in several properties. As a Yahoo! employee, your goal is to help the company achieve success by competing against strong competitors in several countries around the world. To achieve this success, you must provide the best technology and quality possible and give the word "innovation" real meaning in order to make the company survive.

Cons
  • Ruled by short-term results.
  • Too much marketing, less engineering.
  • The development process is not agile at all or enough.
  • Should listen more to the engineers, where significant innovations can come from.
Advice to Management

Listen more to your engineers, prioritizing some of their ideas.

Product managers must understand that the engineers can provide and guide ideas for a technological company.
