Really interesting - particularly how much of a theme there is around getting more product/technical knowledge throughout the company.

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.

That doesn't sound anything like other companies you and I have worked at :P
