Good window-dressing, but poor management and job security - Senior Program Manager Yahoo Employee Review

Quarterly, stacked ranking reviews have intensified the "watching one's own back" and micromanagement and quarterly terminations along with the ongoing layoffs. Transfers and advancement is possible if you brown-nose with the right higher-level managers, but opportunities to learn and grow aren't available, especially if you don't have CS degree or Masters. Management/people skills are not valued there;and some managers like to yell and swear at employees during meetings and bully during 1:1s because they lack these skills, yet they often get promoted.
