Pros

- They reward high performance very well - Co-workers are very talented and knowledgeably, so I was always learning from them. Because getting a job at Yahoo is tough (Used to be that 1 job given per 100 resumes), the quality of people here is of high caliber. - Possibility to work with multiple teams, so you can work on more than one project at the same time and keep life interesting - Career growth and goals are taken seriously, I moved on from Software engineering to Research position gradually - Competitive perks and salary - Fun informal environment

Cons

- Media coverage of the company since 2008, The inside reality of the company is completely different from how its portraid in the media.

Pros

Everyone is very positive and nice. There's a ton of opportunity to make an impact with the scope and scale each employee is responsible for.

Cons

Product strategy seems frantic and directionless at times, although differs between product teams.
