Yahoo Programmer in Mountain View, CA: (Past Employee - 2008)

“Reasonable company”

Pros

People are competent and friendly. The workload is reasonable. Pay is competitive. Big company so experience looks good on resume.

Cons

Too many non-productive lengthy meetings. People at the lower levels are not very clear about the future. Environment a bit crowded.

Advice to Senior Management

More communication would be appreciated to allow everyone to have a clear understanding of the future. Bigger cubicles, nicer offices.

Yahoo Promotions and Marketing Guru in Mountain View, CA: (Past Employee - 2006)

“Corporate America needs to keep their eyes open and ear to the ground regarding their PR and Marketing Teams.”

Pros

Good initial opportunity. Nice campus. Good food.

Cons

Public Relations department dealing with corporate and promotions and marketing were horrible and truly hurt the company in a HUGE WAY (2006-2007).

Advice to Senior Management

Stay humble and always keep your eye on those who have reach into the public and the media. They can make or break a company, and if your PR Team has a jumbo ego and are irresponsible, immature individuals that really do not care about the company- AX THEM as quickly as you can.
