Pros

Free food, flexible work life. Good people

Cons

Lack of respect from Executive team. Failure to accurately remunerate. Every change implemented is managed extremely poorly creating issues directly effecting clients and company revenue. Product focus is not on users or advertisers but on revenue creation, to the extent that advertisers are driven away. Over the past 2 years there have been several realignments, reorganizations and product launches that have all fallen short with the first attempt. The product with the highest growth rate and potential has been devalued by short term money grab syndication deals.

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
