“Fine employee experience, questionable decision making by executives, slightly low basepay”
I have been working at Yahoo
Pros – - Excellent benefits package
- High quality in-house developed application stack
- the full dot-com corporate culture :-)
- many skilled and dedicated engineers
Cons – - Uncertainty in the company road map
- A bit on the low-side for base pay
- Questionable Executive-level decisions
- Product managers seem oblivious to the concept of a rational product cycle
Advice to Senior Management – A breakup would allow you to raise a lot of cash and increase your focus. Yes, Yahoo! has the title of sole surviving portal company, but the rest of the world is past that. Find your niche in the mobile market and take inspiration from the facebook business model rather than Google's. We have experienced questionable leadership in the past, let's hope the new CEO has some bright ideas and can execute.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
