Work environment at Verizon Media
How is the environment at Verizon Media? Is it a stable ship with a bright future or are there constant layoffs?
Has Yahoo ever been stable? We got rid of their good engineers to cut costs and now look at what we have left
bunch of clowns, avoid
Advertising is doing well, it’s a profitable business. Decent WLB and great culture. Make your choices based on what you are looking for the most.
The attrition rate is high enough that they haven't actually been doing the constant layoffs that they planned on.
Just when they’re about to lay someone off, they leave
Generally you can expect decent TC and WLB. But a lot of the projects have no future and some tech stacks are bad and/or ancient (we are getting rid of them, but it takes a long time). I’d say the biggest risk is getting stuck on one of those (I think that is what causes attrition). Your experience will be very team dependent — some of the teams are very talented and work on cool stuff.
Thanks for the nice input. I am exploring opportunities in the East Coast office. It seems they’re expanding here.
Try Finance in east coast, as in finance.yahoo.com, not corp finance. Their engineers are pretty good
In a word? Toxic.
Don’t expect career growth, it’s a place to take nap time and vest.
Sports has a good team and culture. Finance as well.
Honestly it depends on what team you’re on. But I would say overall morale isn’t great.
Someone in between the two
