Yahoo Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Yahoo full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – This company is phenomenal. The most prolific and giving company I have ever worked for. All of the perks you've heard about as well as stellar managerial communication make it the best company for new talent.

Cons – None that I can think of.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you're doing

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at Yahoo as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – Freelanced with them and it was very good and straight forward. Very good to do business with.

Cons – I really only had good experiences with them the 12 times I worked with them throughout the year.

Former Employee – worked at Yahoo full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Nice perks, when I started they had great parties and awesome summer company outings. That all stopped towards the end of 2009 into 2010 to save money. Great bunch of people to work with and easy access to tools for personal and professional growth.

Cons – Poor communication with employees. It took forever to get answers because everyone was in a meeting all the time. How do you get work done if everyone is in a meeting? Then to cut costs they started sending jobs overseas. It was hard to watch.

Advice to Senior Management – Better communication with employees. Everyone is so guarded that things don't get done in a timely manner. Stop sending jobs out of the country. People right here need to work.

Current Employee – been working at Yahoo full-time

Pros – Significant change, renewed innovation, amazing co-workers/culture, great salary/benefits

Cons – Still a lot of middle/sr mgmt hanging on that should be gone. Not much job growth happening in LA.

Advice to Senior Management – Take the YEES results seriously on an individual basis, weed out poor management based on these. The seem ignored in that regard. Provide a better channel to report management issues. The public forums/voting only work for some things.
