Lost direction, but still a great technology company
Lost direction, but still a great technology company
Opportunity to learn technologies and practices that are not found at other companies. Work with some really brilliant people, true experts in their fields. Excellent knowledge base for technologies. Good facilities on campus that truly improve work-life balance.
Severe issues with cronyism and lack of true recognition.
You will be able to advance your career if you are good at office politics. If you are more interested in growth through technological innovation and achievement, you will most likely be stuck doing whatever you're good at without any tangible recognition.
The company has clearly lost direction.
Yahoo is now mostly busy chasing Google, even though it's clear that Google has pulled too far ahead.
Yahoo should return to its roots as an innovator and risk-taker.
Try things and see what works.
There is still enough (for now) talent at Yahoo to come up with the next brilliant thing.
