Yahoo! QA Engineer:   (Current Employee)

Pros

I met the best team here at Yahoo!. People are very nice and caring. The manager are very close to us and always try to help us achieve career goal. The campus is very clean, and since I work in Sunnyvale HQ we got a big trail to go for a walk in summer. Party is something never missed at Yahoo!.. at least once a week during noon time. Also enjoy hackday events and such. Most engineers here are very nice to each other, with so much collaboration on a single project. If you're looking for a fun place, very cheerful and laid back; this is the place for you. Also less politics than other places I have been.

Cons

Too many people voice their opinions, things never move. Lots of conflict in release schedule, poor product planning. Many people here are dumbs which you can judge from the easy interview process. Food sucks, the chefs don't even eat their on dish!. Most cons goes to management level who seems to have a low IQ and don't know how things really work. Many mismanagement resulting in poor product review and thus got killed following with laid off then yes, hire back again.

Reorg so often just to figure out what is right for this company, the direction is still unclear and I can't really feel too much proud in this company when compare to others whom seem to be moving ahead in the game.

Advice to Senior Management

I don't blame you guys, it's just the recruiting process that's poor. By the way, I love Carol she rocks.
