Pros

I really enjoyed the people I worked with and made a lot of friends at Lycos. The location was also convenient, not having to commute into the city for a tech job was great for me, and I had a good work/life balance.

Cons

Employees were left in the dark about where the company was going, which left me very uncertain of my job security after a while there.

Pros

Great people to work with, fantastic and encouraging management team wanting to hear your ideas, and ability to try/fail/try/succeed.

Cons

They are no longer open. They could not compete with the other search engines. Hope the teams are still succeeding at being awesome.
