Yahoo

There are lots of smart people here, and they are a joy to work with. The company is very good about appreciating employees in general, with plenty of fun events throughout the year. The work is pretty interesting, and most teams work well with one another. The salary is pretty good, and there are bonuses.

The board seems to have handled the firing of Bartz rather poorly. It was very abrupt and without any good reason. The executive staff is all fairly new to Yahoo, with many of them coming from Microsoft. It gives the impression that Microsoft is slowly taking over, which is not a good thing from my standpoint.

The board should be replaced with people that work in the industry. Instead of trying to find a CEO that can optimize today's problem (revenue generation), try finding someone who is a good leader.
