Pros
The people here are some of the best and the vestigial culture remains for now.
Cons
In the span of 2 weeks since Internet Brands acquired Avvo they have: 1) Destroyed the culture and morale of the engineering team 2) Shooed away the leadership who actually made the place 3) Shown no interest in stopping the bleeding, and just today was the last day for one of the most tenured engineers in the company 4) Claimed they didn't need to do anything for diversity since they "have it organically" 5) Outsourced jobs to Asia after firing 10% of the company 6) Sold the above move as "increasing diversity" 7) Have a product roadmap going forward that has nothing to do with Avvo, but is just about integrating into Internet Brands and "cost cutting" In short, they bought Avvo to kill it and squeeze whatever is left of it into their other properties. They've shown zero effort to retain any engineers after the layoffs, and today, one of the longest tenured engineers left to go to another company. I wouldn't mind this as much except that the previous culture at Avvo was amazing. It was about supporting each other, learning, and doing from the bottom.
