Pros

A bunch of great professionals, friendly enviroment, Interesting Industry. Fun place to work. Provides a lot of scope to learn.

Cons

Biased and Unfair Leadership team. The so called UK Leadership team is confused and looks lost. There is a trend in AOL, whenever they aquire/partner with a new company, all the promotions and prestigious roles go to the employees of that new company. The latest being Microsoft. A new leader was hired and 2 months later it is found that he will be reporting to his own post. Another Leader joins in with so much hype and noise only to leave within 7 months. Other senior management roles similarly is being handed over to MSFT employees with no proven track record - unfairly denying the old & deserving AOL employees growth. All the interviews being held are just EYE WASH as the decisions are all pre-decided and known to all. There seems to be a POWER FIGHT between the Leaders in UK. Everyone wants to build an EMPIRE but unfortunately not a TEAM.
