Pros

Free internet access from your desktop computer, unlimited filtered water... so drink up! The fridge is stocked with free milk. Fresh wood chips for coffee. Fancy soda vending machines, which charge you 50 cents or more. Free pinball and foosball tables. If you are found using them, then your manager will lay you off or give you zeros for your review.

Cons

No salary increases for years, no promotions for years. They have you work like a dog nights, days, and weekends with no thanks.

All of management will tell you that they have no budget for anything, which are lies. This is by far the worst tech company I have ever worked at.

If you are unemployed and desperate for a job, you really should think hard before you accept an offer here. Sometimes unemployment is better than this place.

Advice to Management

Yahoo needs a re-boot. It's time to let go of everyone between manager level and Tim Morse. Yahoo could save so much money and probably turn a profit from the cost savings.

Time to remove everyone from the board of directors; they have all failed the company. Any person off the street could take this 15B company and turn it around to be 150B. The problem is... you are going back to the same group of fools to get direction.
