Pros

I still work here, so gotta say I prefer it to everything else at the moment.

Cons

I suppose sometimes editors have "ideas" about why I can't put "profanity" into "headlines"

Regrettable, sad shell of a company

Pros

Featured in hit TV show "Silicon Valley" as part of an elaborate masturbation comedy bit. Decent severance pay. AOL CEO sends hilarious, seemingly coked-up "moral booster" emails every couple of months.

Cons

In order further delivery of online advertising and tracking cookies for it's parent company AOL (now "Oath"), TechCrunch mostly publishes thinly veiled press releases from tech companies and startups as "news" via a vintage website and campy events. Several employees struggle to make improvements to the many obvious and embarrassing shortcomings of the company, only to be let go as soon as the ignorant and self-serving, management notices.

Love it here, great brand and the vim is still live.

Cons

Would love to see more Yahoo investment, but what division doesn't want more from their parent co?
