Pros

It used to be a great place to work

Cons

Too many pissing matches at levels above you keeping any progress from occurring. For instance HRC why? If there is an budget why the micromanaging? Platforms? Platforms do not work. Why does it takes months to release features - platforms. If properties were able to build innovative products without having the restrictive nature of platforms then yahoo would be more interesting place to work. As it is now it is like crawling vs the pace it used to conduct run. May it run like a 1000 small BUs and yahoo will innovate and lead again. Sure that seems hard but how well are you doing now?

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.
