Hearing from Yahoo employees - what should Marissa Mayer do next? (sriramk.com) 12 points by arithmetic 14y ago ↗ HN
[–] nrmehta 14y ago ↗ Really interesting - particularly how much of a theme there is around getting more product/technical knowledge throughout the company. [–] sriramk 14y ago ↗ Over time, Yahoo seems to have hired more and more people doing 'meta-work' than actual work. Which leads to month long strategy sessions but very little products coming out and very little product building rhythm. [–] aaronbrethorst 14y ago ↗ That doesn't sound anything like other companies you and I have worked at :P
