"I've worked for Yahoo for 3 years and 4 different CEOs. If you are looking for a stable company that treats employees well then Yahoo might be for you. If you are looking for a company that works efficiently, values innovation, or rewards talent then you should move on.Yahoo teams are poorly managed and employees are treated like numbers. If you don't mind being a well-paid number that can skate by under the radar then go to Yahoo. If you want to be challenged then Yahoo is not for you."

"I have worked for Yahoo! for 18 months. The environment is exciting but chaotic. The HR leadership is inexperienced and does cause some morale issues with its employees. Overall, the exciting pace of product development makes the risk worth taking."
