Pros

Salary, benefit, perks and resources. Generally good people. Company name still has some cachet left over from dotcom era. Some people and groups continuing to innovate. Revenue from Access business allows a little momentum.

Cons

It's AOL. Currently flailing and downsizing. Morale problems related to layoffs and shuttering of products. Strategic direction in question, especially during the decline of the economy and online advertising.

Advice to Senior Management

Do something. The content strategy remains questionable, even if the eyeballs are relatively cheap due to low labor costs (bloggers). Going to continue to need local developers to work on product -- India is mostly not cutting it.
