It is not fascinating at all to work for such a giant. It is just like being at the Atlantic ocean, not in thousand lives you would be able to know the employees of even your department. The turnover ratio is also one of the reasons. And believe me that it is the last thing I want to bear in my life.

I work as Staff Engineer. I joined it 2 years back and was hired into a Staff Engineering position. And I have survived the recent layoffs. Yahoo is a good company with strong customer focus. Work Life balance, frequent feedback on performance from management, on-site gym, new facilities, awesome food in the cafeteria etc. I also like the collaborative environment and usually look forward to going to work every day.

Wall Street seems to cheer the fact that the company announced 5% job cuts. It is not a fun time to be employed at yahoo! I am as concerned as the guy next to me.

Carol Bartz, our new CEO, says her gut feeling is that we should not sell our search business. I think Google will continue to slice our pie and eat Microsoft's lunch. The difference is Microsoft has more lunch money, and we don't.
The whole world thinks we should be combining our Search business with Microsoft. It is time someone tell this to our new CEO.
