AOL Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Good company to work for. Was taken over by Verizon in 2016."

"Pros: Good benefits, bonuses, perks and facilities. Cons: Right from VP to developers are south Indian (Hyderabad/Telangana) crowd and network possibly working on commission basis (check internet for what happened to Adobe and Walt Disney) to recruit their own state employees even back from India. They even fail other people during interviews, if he/she is not from their state back in India and then get someone through their network. So even if developer does not know development, he or she gets selected if from Hyderabad/Telangana. VP happily covers all south Indian people even if they do not know anything about the job and tries to prove other guy (doesn't matter whether white or black) bad. Please try to maintain separate category people in management at each level (currently it's all Hyderabad/Telangana people). If not AOL will fail to rise."

"Great company to work for."

"AOL encourages creativity and does what it can to inspire employees. They are known to hold conferences for employees and even bear the expense of hotel rooms when needed. Meetings are kept positive for the most part. The main office in Beverly Hills is attractive, open and features a fully stocked break room."

"AOL is a great place to work."

"Worked for AOL almost one year, it was cool and fun, I like the working environment and people."

"I spent 13.5 years at AOL, and I definitely regret that I was laid off. Had that not happened, I would not be looking for a new job today. The company looks for the best people to improve their position, in terms of both their skillet and their mindset. Company culture is a very important facet of the interview process, and I'm proud to have been a part of establishing that. That said, there is still some politics internally which can be difficult to manage when first starting out."

"I was on contract with AOL Mobile in 2007 and 2008, where I worked on the UDR 2.0 Server and Services. It was a migration project to TOMCAT infrastructure from an old Netscape Server.Both the people and the work were great. However most of the people that I knew have since left the company for other opportunities."

"Great place with innovation and large scale tech."
