Pros

The offices are beautiful and comfortable, the benefits are comprehensive, salaries are competitive and there are plenty of fun employee events.

Cons

The company preaches life-work balance, yet many employees are overworked and stressed. The direction of AOL seems to change every six months, leaving lower-level employees struggling to catch up with the executives' visions. Many higher-level employees are in positions where they're ineffective. There's also a culture divide between AOL and Huffington Post.

Pros

Excellent work life balance. The culture is very open and appreciative. Freedom to innovate and grow. As long as you do your work, no one will question you. It's a great way to learn and progress.

Cons

Extremely far from the city. Commuting saps the life out of you. But there are free company bus services.
