Pros

- Lot of opportunity, especially if you're top talent - Great work/life balance - Solid benefits

Cons

- Read the other reviews... it's ex-Yahoo folks complaining about how awesome Yahoo used to be (prior to Oath) and ex-Aolers complaining about the attitude of ex-Yahoos (post Oath). The merger was/is pretty rough and the culture reflects that -- we're far from a unified single company - Company is bloated on headcount and non-profitable products, hence that all the layoff talks

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.
