downhill from yahoo days

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

Pros

My co-workers were great. Good group of people, and some of them were very talented at what they do. Free food was very yummy.

Cons

Ridiculous corporate bureaucracy. For a while it seemed like we had a new CEO every 6 months. Of course, each CEO wanted us to maintain LASER FOCUS on our goals. These goals were rarely actually defined and were always short-lived. Also, don't get me started on the annual review process.

Pros

Good health benefits. Free food.

Cons

Some management is sexist. Siloed corporate structure isnt working. Can't get raises, but you can certainly get more work dumped on you. No direction for growth in Toronto. Culture is garbage and everyone is leaving. Do not take a job on contract, they will NEVER make you full time.
