Sr. Technical Recruiter (Former Employee), Palo Alto, CA –
Pros: work, life, balance, "the people"!
Cons: no longer a major player.
I knew the manager there and loved working for her, she offered lots of flexibility. AOL is pretty much now a start-up. The people there are AWESOME...however, not sure if the company will survive, tough place to recruit for considering so many cool companies in the Valley to compete with. They're focusing on mobile and from an engineering perspective – more...  I think it's a great place to work, your voice will be heard, you can help innovate and be part of the team to try and turn the company around. The diggs and people are awesome which makes it a fun place to work... – less

AOL/CompuServe was a good place to work.
Senior system administrator (Former Employee), Upper Arlington, OH –
Pros: we had a good cafeteria in the building
Cons: we were in a 24/7 business
Unfortunately both were sinking (our customer base was shrinking) the last decade I was there (98 to 10). Before that, and during that time, we were professional and tried to produce and deliver a product that was worth what the customer paid for it. Each employee was held accountable for their area and was compensated for making their area work well. – more...  Management was cognizant of the problems involved and did their best to help each employee. – less

Company is very good at offering reward for a job well done
Technical Support, Sales and Password (Former Employee), Ogden, UT –
Pros: excellent reward system
Cons: company became somewhat anti-employee, more pro-profit after merging with time warner
Most employees use this job as a stepping stone to another job. Or else they use this as a way to earn decent money while going to school.

Great place, Great time.
Software Engineer (Former Employee), Dulles –
Pros: friendly atmosphere, great compensation
Cons: lay-offs
I've always felt that AOL treated me right. I appreciated the hard work and dedication that so many of my fellow employees embraced. The only challenging aspect of the job, was that I was employed during a change in the way people used the internet and AOL suffered from a lack of vision at the top levels to properly embrace these changes. This resulted – more...  in a continuous downsizing. – less

Dynamic workplace, where change is the SOP
Director (Former Employee), Dulles, VA –
Pros: great flexibility
Cons: more change than necessary
All companies go through change, and many like to rally around it as a battle cry. AOL takes change to the next level, in that the next change comes about before the org has finished absorbing the last one. To succeed here, you must be extremely flexible in your expectations and tolerance for change, being willing to change course rapidly without getting – more...  too hung up on the former direction. You may have one manager in three years, or three managers in one year. The org is constantly flexing, as are key initiatives and job descriptions. It's quite possible to be successful, as long as you are extremely flexible and resiliant. – less
