Advice to Senior Management

Doing a good job. But baltimore is sort of left out from the overall aol envt. I dont see many leaders coming from baltimore .

Pros

* Smart engineers and scientists
* Very interesting and compelling technical challenges
* Company has a strong market position
* Benefits and pay tend to be very good given the market

Cons

This company has weak and ever-changing corporate leadership. As a result, getting anything done is about who you know rather than the merits of the task. You have to learn to navigate the many fiefdoms. This place is not a meritocracy. Good ideas regularly get ignored if they aren't inline with how certain key individuals think. Also, the fact that the engineering teams are spread across different offices and time zones makes everything all the more difficult.

Pros

flex schedule, interesting projects and challenges

Cons

Advice to Senior Management

Have more structure and things to do for the Interns

Pros

Always using the newest technology. Good training when there is room in the budget. Work with a lot of smart people. Room for growth, and move to other positions with in the company. Open to new business ideas. Always busy to help the day go by quicker. Reasonable hours, even when on call. Teamwork is good at the company for the most part. Everyone works towards the same goal to hit goal numbers. Pretty good about not pointing fingers, instead getting the problem resolved.

Cons

Can be stressful at times. Everyone wants everything done last week, with not having enough hours in the day. (this can be good too). Management passing down ridiculous projects, having no clue how long or hard they are to implement and wanting them on impossible time lines.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop kicking around titles to get things done. Get things done because they make sense, and will help the company move forward.
