Pros

An ex-AOLer. They were great to work for. Depending on what side of the business you worked on, it was rewarding. I've heard mixed reviews on salaries, but I was happy with mine, and they even did a salary review with an increase.

A great work-life balance, especially if you have kids. Also, an active social club.

Cons

AOL has now merged with Yahoo to become Oath. There is a lot of uncertainty as to how significant the work will be given to those offices outside of Yahoo headquarters in CA. Also, longer hours are likely if you happen to be working with colleagues in CA.

Advice to Management

Be a little more considerate to staff who are putting in the late hours when dealing with Yahooers on the West Coast.
