IAC – “Ask.com”

Pros

Flexible working schedule, we can come anytime. And it is ok to work from home
Have many technical challenges in working. Working on the cutting edge answer/search engine. There are many open research and engineering topics. ASK is very good starting point for the newly graduated PHDs and MSs.
Good collaboration among the co-workers. Most developers are very young, they can work together to solve problems, often over a game of ping pong / Wii / Footsball

Cons

Ask.com has vey strong competitors. ASK lacks resouce to be the best search engine or answer engine. The scope that ASK can developed itself is very limited. Top executives seems to be not very interested in ASK's own core technology.
