Visiting YAHOO! Headquarter

<Company name: YAHOO!>

09.23.2015.Wednesday

“Met with software engineer Rachel who have been working in YAHOO for 8years. We had a chance to feel and hear about global search engine company YAHOO!”


Today I finally went to YAHOO headquarter office. Unlike Google campus, YAHOO had a very calm and quiet atmosphere with purple everywhere. Only visitors with employee’s guidance were able to take a tour. Even though YAHOO have went through 8 layoffs in 8 years they were still strong. Through the hard times employees who survived had stronger bindings to each other. Not only is their relationship but also their food. An employee from Google said YAHOO’s food is much better than theirs. (As Number of employees increased in Google food quality went a little down.)


After Marissa Ann Mayer, whom previously was the Vice President of Google Product Search until the end of 2010, became YAHOO’s new CEO and corporate culture has been changed drastically. Still many people use YAHOO in United States and I hope they will re-hop again and scream ‘YAHOO!’ one day. Depending on who the leader is, corporate culture is formed in many different form. I realized how important the corporate culture is to employees and to future employees.
