Pros

1. Pay is decent, but there is no annual increase unless you get a promotion. 2. Most engineers are knowledge and approachable. 3. Free food, but you have to line up for 30 mins at least to get food.

Cons

1. Too many reorgs. Shuffling resources every three months. I had 3 managers during 8 months there. 2. Too many layoffs. People just disappear for no reason. 3. Managers suck! They are the ones who should be let go of!! They make terrible decision and all they do is to push you and make Yahoo a sweatshop. 4. Products suck. Who the heck is still using Yahoo? The CEO tries to sugar coat bad things and brain wash the employees as much as possible.
