Pros

- a lot of well-known brands under oath - [some] teams have [some] great people in them - for now, yahoo perks still around. until who knows when... - ad tech has a lot of potential in the marketplace

Cons

- promotion cycle - recent rewards allotment was not transparent and tends to allow managers to reward their favorites - if you're not located in the US, pretty much not able to get the same opportunities or get the short end of the stick - the AOL/Yahoo merge has been so stressful and messy. still continues to this day - some managers are just terrible but got to where they are based only on seniority/outlasting everyone else, not because they have any people managing skills nor desire to be an effective manager for their subordinates - most of the culture that yahoo had is now gone and it's just become a strange culture. one that has huge turnover and constant anticipation for layoffs
