Pros

A great place for a young professional to break into the tech industry. You have a large amount of autonomy over your work and can creatively find a way to get to a solution. Flexible hours and vacation time that you're encouraged to use.

Cons

There is always a threat of layoffs.... ALWAYS. On a quarterly basis it seems. Priorities are always changing. AOL needs to stick to a direction and commit fully to it. Too many legacy systems/servers. Not enough money put into tech teams. Not enough transparency, especially around layoffs.
