Reviews about "upper management"
Return to all Reviews- Former Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Great team, great experience, great benefits
Cons
Difficulty in upper management trying to turn company around
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Great People work here, friendly and dedicated to their jobs. Pay is fair enough. Vacation hours are plentiful. Free food in the cafeteria. Mobile phone for employee and discounts on Verizon service for employee and immediate family.
Cons
No one knows who does what. Documentation is lacking for a lot of jobs. Upper management that is a holdover from the pre-buyout days tends to be competitive to the point of betrail. The culture is ridiculously left-leaning and as such tends to have a bias against males, and the diversity hires are not always the best choice for the job and often are a detriment to the team. Not enough hours in the work-day to complete all tasks, most nights are spent with a couple of hours in my home office working on a task of some sort.
Continue reading - Former Contractor, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
The only good thing I can say about this company is that you are given a lot perks in terms of free food and monthly events, there are also a few real, quality people the rest are unprofessional and petty.
Cons
One of the biggest downsides of working at Yahoo is that as a female your opinions are not respected. The managers are young and inexperienced men who do not equally value all team members. Instead of being an innovative and forward moving company, Yahoo is stuck in the past. They also pay women significantly less than men for having the same job title and experience. Upper management and management make you believe that they want you to success and grow and include women in the process but this is all for show and to get you to accept the role.

Pros
Good benefits, fun corporate culture.
Cons
Outdated and terrible upper management
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
good culture, and perks, free food, nice office
Cons
Upper management can be shady and keep information that is important to the employees
- Current Contractor, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Free lunch, good pay, there are some truly good people ... cons sadly outweigh the pros
Cons
- no conversion of contractors who are valuable members of the team. - no rewards for good work, the team is mostly NY based, if you are in the LA office you are often forgotten about - upper management picks favorites and if you are not one of them... good luck - lots of layoffs (multiple acquisitions in 2 years -- Oath, then Verizon) - no benefits or 401k if you are a contractor - no one really feels safe, lots of people are constantly looking for new jobs Some else wrote "after the acquisition, Yahoo became just another corporate cold environment" -- they are right
Continue reading - Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Laid back company culture Management is surprisingly competent (at least up to mid level) Unique working experience (no company is quite like Yahoo!)
Cons
Not really a industry leader these days Upper management is a bit questionable Job security feels a bit lax sometimes (2 large layoffs in 2008-2009)
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★

We are using Agile model but upper management still operate as waterfall
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros

Cons
Favortism in upper management, pay does not always equal performance, lengthy QPR reviews, difficult to be on the same page with various teams, Operations management needs an overhaul, low change of career advancement unless someone quits/gets terminated.
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
