Pros

Free Food, Good Benefits, if you're in the stage of life where you need a lot of work/life flexibility, its a good place for that.

Cons

Terrible amount of toxicity from Yahoo employees focused on internal conquesting vs. winning in market. Pay is not competitive with the competition it is setting out to win against: Amazon, Facebook, and Google. Nor is it competitive with companies that are trying to compete against Amazon, FB, and Google. Basically, tier 2 pay grading.

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
