Pros

AOL works on a lot of different products, from web, to client side, server side, mobile, video, etc... which gives you experiences on different technologies and teams. That what I enjoyed the most at AOL.

Cons

AOL needs to catch up with MSN, Google, and Yahoo, and still trailing at 4th place the last few years. Changes in senior management and yearly layoffs can be demoralizing.
