Yahoo Employer Reviews

I loved working at Yahoo!. I had the pleasure of working with smart people who produced strategic, creative work for appreciative in-house clients. Work-life balance was excellent and even with a revolving door of CEOs during my tenure, I was proud to work there.

Yahoo! works hard to hire cream-of-the-crop-talent only to fire them after 9 months. This is the company's way of avoiding making full time hires (barely skirting California contracting laws). Most positions there are extremely unstable.

Also, the company does not care about you. If you're becoming ill from working long hours overnight, they don't – more... care.

Your department could be setting records in terms of numbers, but you will be fired to make it look like the company is meeting its financial goals for investors. – less

• Analyzed the Functional Requirements to fully understand the scope of the testing

Yahoo was an excellent place to spend some time working. I learned some new stuff there, working with XML, JSON files and integrating the Yahoo services into an app. We also utilized some 3rd party APIs like DarkSky and Alohar for getting user GPS location data.

One of the more interesting and exciting things about working at Yahoo is working with – more... a team. All of my previous experience with programming was done by myself. It was great being able to work with other programmers and designers on a project – less

Nice place to start career , Very cooperative team leaders.

I loved my time at Yahoo! as I was surrounded by very creative and bright people who worked hard and were given the freedom and trust to produce quality material.

I've never worked in a culture where the expression "work hard and play hard" was so accurate to the employee population.

I hope Yahoo! is restored to the position it was while I worked – more... there.
It was a good company and a positive influence on other work structures in the industry. – less

The brand alone speaks volumes about the company. The most leading company in the world offers nothing less than best to its employees. The work culture is simply superb.

Awesome company to work with.

Work culture and people are just awesome. They are good at their work and at the same time very humble and always approachable.

It has been best 6 months of my life.

Learned a lot and made great friends.

I enjoyed every single day I spent at Yahoo! The work culture, the premises, the people, work ethics and overall feel being a part of Yahoo! is very comfortable.

Sunday.
Its a good browser.
Good management its have.
To think a new way to work.
To read new comments.

I work daily as computer operator ihave learn how computer operates and my management was at yahoo company and my co worker was a computer enginer for me the hardest part of the job was in when ensuring the machines to operate the most enjoyable part was in typing keys.

Frustrating to work for.
Shifts are bid once a quarter (not discussed in interview or training)
Quality reviews used for picking order of shifts uses statistically insignificant sample sizes. (One call out of 2,000 has you working Sundays for three months.)
Problems communicating with HR for benefits questions.

Great people to work with, co-worker is professional;learn mutitask and get things done;

The days at Yahoo! are never boring, things change quickly and you need to be ready to roll with the changes.

I manage a staff of 16 in three different locations, Sunnyvale, Omaha, and India. Offers unique management challenges to get the staff to work together to gain synergies. Very fun group to work with, very knowledgeable about their job and how changes in their job can affect yours. We continually seem to run short staffed.

The team in NYC is great, very supportive and we found the time to get to know each other outside of work. Problem is the company thinks the media capital of the world is Santa Monica leaving the folks in NYC with the mentality that it’s a bureau/satellite office not taking into account that this is the media capital of the world. Communication between – more... the folks on the west coast and east coast is horrible. West coast managers have no concept of the three hour time zone difference and expect the NY folks to be always available even when its dinner time or time for sleep. With all the layoffs, lack of direction in the company as a whole and inept middle managers that openly talk negatively about other employees I would suggest people to go someplace else that respects you, it’s well worth it. There are plenty of other companies in NYC to find that will treat you right. – less
