Pros
  1. Free food and coffee.
  2. Good benefits.
  3. Great environment.
  4. Marissa made a change on Yahoo culture: "We can do it!" and transparency.
Cons
  1. Bad salaries range from contractors converting to FTEs.
  2. No room to grow: Internal transfers aren't clear on role definitions or compensation. Some departments have a mix of roles using the same "Job title" to max salaries, such as Program Managers converting to Product Managers, Engineers converting to Product Managers, or Editors with multiple "undefined roles."
Advice to Management

Keep working on transparency. Review salary ranges and clarify role definitions for internal transfers.
