I was at Yahoo under Marissa and I have mixed feelings on the program.

The first couple of years the people that got accepted as APMs were very good. The flipside was they all left a year in, after their first accelerated promo happened. As time went on and Yahoo lost its Marissa halo, the quality of the APMs plummeted.

Star employees won't help you if the management is clueless.
