Pros

The company is focused on innovation and growth. They care about their employees. They also have tried to make employees feel like they are part of a larger family.

Cons

There is some level of uncertainty because of many changes. The changes make some people concerned about the future and direction of the company.

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.
