      Pros

      Pay is generally below market, company has high attrition rate, and enterprise-wide initiatives are not executed well.

      Cons

      Company has an extremely high debt load (22 billion plus) that it keeps refinancing at high interest rates (currently 10.6 percent). Current CEO led the team that created what's considered the worst merger in the history of American business (Time-Warner/AOL). Reductions in workforce have happened at least semi-annually over the past several years, as the company finds ways to contract essential services out so that OIBDAN seems strong. The company has become quite effective at hiding these RIFs. Advancement opportunities are limited.

      Pros

      Pay is fair. Technical colleagues are good and friendly. A collegial work environment. There are opportunities to learn new technologies and apply them. Since the current infrastructure still needs a lot work, one can make significant contributions. The best part is that there is a good work-life balance.

      Cons

      Maybe this only apply to our team -- there is not enough support from the management so the turn over is kind of high. IMHO, the quality of the product managers is uneven. But on the other hand, I do wish the product managers have more power so that they can coordinate different teams to provide a consistent and intuitive user experience.

      Pros

      Allows for good work-life balance because no one bothers you when you are off the clock. Some of the people I work with are fabulous. 401k is comparable to similar companies' offers.

      Cons

      Salary is slightly better than a high school graduate could expect at a first job. Five years ago, everyone took a 10% pay cut and no one has gotten a raise yet. Few opportunities for career advancement, and those will be squashed by middle managers who don't want to lose valuable employees. Quality control management is non-existent. Dying industry refusing to recognize need for change.
