Pros
I worked at Yahoo during Marissa Mayer's era. I worked in the Global Ad Creative Technology Organization. The team sat in between the engineers, and our team was responsible for the daily operations.
Cons
It was great until Verizon acquired Yahoo, and now, Verizon sold off Yahoo and AOL to a private equity firm. The management and team got gutted from the acquisition and tons of people were laid off. Ultimately, Verizon's media ventures - formerly called Oath - failed to compete with Google and Facebook, and the sale allowed Verizon to focus on it's core telecom growth. The Global Ad Creative Technology Organization is a former shell of itself.
