AOL Reviews in Ireland

I worked at AOL full-time for less than a year

Pros – Good work atmosphere, nice office space with always something happening. Given interesting work to do. Supervisor was great guy to work for. Great colleagues.

Cons – Too many meetings, especially those unavoidable all hands. I felt one or two of the bosses could work on their people skills / man management.

Advice to Senior Management – Felt a little bit left to own devices at times, maybe more general feedback on performance.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at AOL part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Waterford call centre: Part time shifts great while completing college which allowed for evening and weekend work. Good team environment

Cons – One year there was the option of taking stocks as a bonus, if you did not select the option of stocks or was out of the office at the time, you did not receive the stocks or any bonus. Great for me as I got the stocks but not for others.

Advice to Senior Management – Spend more time on team activities even if one weekly huddle or meeting.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at AOL full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – Competitive salaries
Great benefits - health care, gym, free breakfast, coffee, foosball, pool, table tennis, and best of all soft drinks on tap.
One of the best locations in Dublin for transport.

The company really has the employee at the core of their values.
We take fun seriously is one of the core values and they stick to it.

Cons – Not many downsides to working here.
Sometimes meetings can get in the way of doing real work but I guess that is the same for any large company.
There is still some remnant traits - it works this way it has always worked this way and we don't want to change it. This however is thankfully rapidly disappearing.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work.
