Yahoo! Senior Software Engineer in Sunnyvale, CA:   (Past Employee - 2009)

Pros

Huge impact, great people to work with, fun culture, great compensation & benefits package, free coffee, good work-life balance, and lots of opportunities to learn.

Cons

Lack of innovation, lack of transparency, lack of focus, plenty of slackers, engineers have little significance in decision making, and layers of middle management.

Advice to Senior Management

Cut the fat. Pressure managers to deliver more. Focus on improving core properties in innovative ways. Keep improving user's experience in any way possible.
