AOL Programming Manager:   (Past Employee - 2007)

Pros

AOL was a compelling and fun place to work until budget cuts and changes in programming forced "Community" out of the business and we were replaced by ad revenue.

Cons

Focus on member experience was replaced by the value of the amighty dollar. The industry became too competitive and AOL just couldn't keep up...

Advice to Senior Management

Go back to the grass roots thinking that built America Online - Today, you're just another place to grab email. :(
