Vantaggi

None. Not anymore, anyway. For years I couldn’t have imagined working anywhere else. But ever since the announcement that they were being bought out by IAC (the parent company of Home Advisor — our biggest competitor), it went downhill FAST.

Svantaggi

Long hours, constantly under micro-management, compensation is not NEARLY as good as it used to be (and the comp plans change CONSTANTLY), goals are set so high that it’s difficult to earn a bonus, so you really just have to rely on your base salary, morale is at an all-time low, employees are constantly worrying if they’re going to have a job this time next week, you can get written up for something as simple as getting up and going to the restroom, no clear direction of the company, opportunities for advancement are non-existent (unless your friends with the right people in the right places), health benefits are average at best, campus is awesome but you never get a chance to enjoy it because you can’t leave your desk without a reprimand and break times are so short you can’t afford to go very far. Management gave me a hard time for a PTO request for a dentist appointment when I still had plenty to use for such things. Now they’re close to the acquisition by IAC taking place, and of issuing (yet another round of) layoffs with a severance, now they’re offering those employees a much lower position with lower compensation and forcing them to quit so they don’t have to pay out severances. Their technology is antiquated and fails often, service providers hate Angie’s List because we bombard them with phone calls that they don’t want to receive, constant changes in business practices, teams have to move around all the time (literally about every 2-3 months)... Angie’s List has become the laughing stock of the Indianapolis business community.

Vantaggi

1. The work is mostly interesting and challenging. 2. My team is pretty awesome. I'm very lucky and grateful to have ans engineering manager that really takes an interest in the well being of our team, but still strives to make a strong impact in the company. Everyone on my team is very supportive and willing to jump into solving a problem at a moments notice. There are no egos on my team. 3. The work from home policy is fantastic. I get to save commuting money, but I never feel "alone". We have daily standups and ad-hoc meetings, so we collaborate frequently. 4. There is some opportunity to learn new technology, though I would prefer if it were more often. 5. Management seems pretty transparent and honest with the company. I never feel like the C-suite is hiding anything. We have regular "all-hands" meetings where they discuss the state of the company, our success and failures, where we are going as a company and how to get there. I really like that communication and honesty. 6. Angi is regularly asking for feedback to improve itself. That is wonderful, and rare. I've worked at previous companies that never did anything like this, and it showed. I'm very glad that Angi is always striving to be a great place to work. 7. Angi is serious about clearly documenting our work. Whether that's holding RFC meetings, writing spike docs, or just building simple information docs in confluence. 8. Angi has onsites where employees can travel to meet in person. I've been to a couple and they are great. Would love for this to happen more often. I sometimes here they plan twice a year, but that doesn't always happen.

Svantaggi

1. Angi has a lot of outdated code and systems, decades worth. This causes some serious issues with the products, and makes working with them significantly harder than it needs to be. Luckily, management is aware and has initiatives in place to migrate off these legacy systems. Just a matter of when. 2. Like many companies these days, Angi is trying to use AI more in daily work life. This has pros and cons. So far, I have not seen the benefit of it, hence I'm posting in the "cons" section. I think there is a general lack of knowledge on how to use it. 3. Lately there has been a push to "move faster", especially now with the adoption of AI tools. I have seen teams making some poor choices, resulting in costly mistakes. I would love to return (at least a little) to a slower, more thoughful approach. A "measure twice, cut once" approach, not "ship now, fix later".

Vantaggi

- The people who are in the trenches with you in this role are awesome!

Svantaggi

- This company has gone straight down hill. I worked for Angi for many years, and as time goes on, it gets worse and worse. - They continue to change the compensation plan for the worse. Most top reps have left. - Managers NEVER held accountable for anything. They only hold the sales reps accountable. - The upsell director is a real piece of work. Talk about being fake..... - Sales reps are just numbers on a spreadsheet for this company at the end of the day. Truly sad to see what has happened to this company over the last 2 years. - They laid off their entire Leadership Development Program. Their "hire from within" mantra is a blatant lie. Not a single sales rep has been promoted to manager in 15 months. They have been hiring from the outside more than ever.
