1. I have heard that Brightroll does have many talented individuals , few even joined from Google. How do they see this acquisition ? Anyone from Brightroll also on HN can comment ? Excited , nervous ? Worried about culture change ?
2. Yahoo does have long history of getting acquihires and then shutting down the application. Now brightroll is quite big acquisition ( 400 employees ) to shut it down completely. Yahoo might consider re-org though.
Does anyone have number how many employees Yahoo has laid off this year (2014 )? I am getting business insider article saying Yahoo has laid off at least 1000 since MM took over as CEO [0] ?
3. I am interested in knowing how No Work from Home policy is going to be seen by Brightroll ?
4. Do you think MM have some strategy she is following or is this just let's spend all money we got from $BABA ?
Do surface painting to please investors , acquire another company, lay off few more followed by rinse and repeat until
cash is spent or something concrete happens ?
I have invested in Yahoo for 4 years now but considering whether I should hold or sell by stock. I would love to hear what others think about Brightroll . In general is this acquisition good or bad ?
