Pros

Smart engineers. Fun people to work with. Lively and happy atmosphere. Very good work/life balance. Good use of (some) open source code and tools. Good benefits for full-time employees.

Cons

No clear direction for engineering. Not able to take engineering risks to innovate. Pressure to launch without much thought on maintenance. Strong "not invented here" pressure against non-Yahoo code.
