Pros

Profitable business Strong product teams Friendly front-line managers and coworkers(front-line engineers)

Cons

Very toxic engineering culture, a culture of neglect: No training or knowledge transfer sessions for new hires. From CTO to directors, push you to figure out everything. It's like a new tax driver driving in a new city without a map. The only help is your coworkers and front-end managers(some of them are nice). But many of them already left. Lots of legacy code, yet they put new hires on-call 24hrs support. good luck! No vision: CTO/SVP/Senior Managers has no sense of architecture or any vision or long term plans. They are laziest I've ever worked with. When you ask them about architecture or roadmaps, they will ignore you. As engineering managers, they don't care about quality at all. When you fail, they blame you.

Pros

- great pay and benefits - some decent technologies - infrastructure, CI/CD and technology is moving in the right direction - a wide array of technologies from Java, Spring, AWS, Scala, etc

Cons

- a lot of company leadership shakes up - sometimes direction from Product is slow and hard to gain momentum as a team - priorities seem like they need some reigning in to what makes sense to keep teams moving forward and contributing more towards company goals - a lot of technical debt and legacy systems that need to be removed or migrated - stocks are low in general and vested lower than they were granted and bonuses are lower than promised so far - a lot of red tape and knowledge gaps when attempting to make progress or hunt down issues - still moving several company systems and services into one Angi service which can be hard to navigate when making updates

Pros

I have been very pleasantly surprised with Angi after accepting the offer because I felt it was a gamble due to previous glassdoor reviews. I read of people abandoning ship, senior management coming from an unprofitable startup (Handy), unprofitable company, no control over what is built, totally unstable infrastructure, etc. Most of this turned out to be mostly in the past by the time I had joined and almost entirely in the past as of today. For company direction a lot of this was solved with change of leadership--Joey Levin has resolved most of my concerns--we just had our first profitable quarter in years and have created a more focused, healthy vision. Regarding infra and engineering challenges--Angi is full of really top tier talent that are solving these issues. I've been continually impressed with many of the engineers, managers, and directors I work with. Being an engineer here is pretty flexible. If you like your level of responsibility they'll let you hang out there and if you want to strive they'll provide you opportunities to grow. It's a very fair and stable engineering organization, in my opinion. It's not as much fun as a greenfield startup, of course, but the technical challenges are good and I'm definitely learning a great deal. A lot of progress is being made in many areas across the org to constantly improve the engineering experience here with observability, reporting, stability, security, etc. Now, that progress is slower that it needs to be due to a RFC process that needs refreshing but mostly it's reasonable and the right decisions are being made, which is great. I'm having a good time and see myself being here a while!

Cons

Lack of community in the offices. Don't expect to meet people even if you go in regularly due to remote-first culture. Your team will be scattered all around.
