Yahoo has been the very best employer I have ever had.
Inside Sales Rep (Former Employee), Hillsboro, OR –
Pros: free barista, great stock options, excellent co-workers, benifits
Cons: low potential for advancement, turmoil on a corporate level
I enjoyed working for Yahoo from 2007 to 2011. I worked with an excellent group of sales people as well as driven motivational management team. The only reason I left was to find a more creative challenging position in Web Design Sales.

A good learning experience, but a lot of uncertainty
Quality Assurance (Former Employee), Hillsboro, OR –
Pros: tech culture, name recognition, amazing scale
Cons: constant re-orgs, shifting priorities, low morale, layoff cycles, silo management
Interesting culture, lots of technology, but slow to identify with and respond to the evolving needs and interests of consumers due to lack of innovative leadership and corporate bureaucracy.

Yahoo HotJobs was a great place to work
Project Manager and Designer (Former Employee), New York, NY –
Pros: great location, relaxed dress code, embraced creativity
Cons: division ended up getting sold
This division of Yahoo! has since been purchased by Monster.com. During my tenure, each colleague was brighter than the next. Pure meritocracy. Creativity and innovation were encouraged and expected. Unfortunately there were some bumps in the road, and Yahoo! saw fit to narrow their focus.

Was a great place to work
Product Manager (Former Employee), Sunnyvale, CA –
I joined in 2005 and it had a great energy - but over time it faded, and with each re-org most teams lost interest (and they're best people). Still a recognized name, but doesn't carry the weight it used to carry in Silicon Valley

Great place to work
Software Engineer (Current Employee), Sunnyvale, CA –
Pros: great technology, interesting projects, great managers, smart people
Cons: executive leadership struggling, high attrition rate
I consider myself very lucky to be working on a really cool project at Yahoo. The people are very smart and work "smart" rather than hard, which is the right way to do it. Projects are managed well, using the Agile model with reasonable work load for each sprint. The technology is top notch and the work is very interesting.
