Yahoo Employee Reviews about "upper management"

Pros

• Many areas of opportunity to contribute and grow outside of your main role • Great benefits, 401k matching, flexible time off, ability to travel to visit teams • Extremely well developed diversity & inclusion efforts • The Verizon name carries real weight in the digital media, advertising and tech space. Putting in time really helps your resume/LinkedIn when looking for your next gig.

Cons

• Verizon Media went through years of acquisitions and reorgs that slowed progress and caused infernal confusion. Went through multiple new managers and upper management in 5 years. Company is just now coming off of the bumpy trend. • Recent selloffs of brands and shuttering legacy products impacted morale • Some of the most hard working people are here, but also some people are just here for a check. Definitely have to navigate individual work ethics.

Pros

Benefits + insurance is not terrible

Cons

The entire corporate structure needs to be updated. Managers are not trained and HR reps who are working to train them are overworked/have quit after 2 months. The company has a rigid leadership structure and middle managers + upper management has no idea where the company is headed.

Pros

Great engineers Massive platform with global reach

Cons

Upper management is out of touch with the employees.

Pros

Good work/life balance, will do right thing for all employees

Cons

Lots of changes to upper management in past couple of years, but tech is solid

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.

Pros

Pays somewhat competitively, especially if you come from Yahoo!

Cons

Keep losing traffic on its sites. Upper management has poor understanding of the business. No clear strategy to turn around. Verizon operates it like a financial management company.

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

Pros

good culture, and perks, free food, nice office

Cons

Upper management can be shady and keep information that is important to the employees

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
