Pros

Amazing comp and benefits. Flexible work life balance. New hires bringing about exciting ideas/changes in culture. Exciting time to join with a ton of interesting problems to solve.

Cons

Existing codebases are poorly maintained with little to no testing. Your bonus will be locked behind a "goal" to which you may or may not be able to contribute. Company defaults to status quo - disallows ICs to experiments without data to backup doing the experiment. Engineers have been brow beaten by their product peers to the point that they've given up voicing their ideas. Business/product organization is inflexible to change and experimentation. Business/product values "the user" but continues to prioritize revenue and new functionality. Product org struggles to function beyond more than a mere feature factory; spends little to no time understanding the users wants/needs/problems.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We believe in creating a culture where team members can bring their best selves to work, which includes providing meaningful benefits and attracting (and retaining) individuals who are passionate about driving our mission forward. It's great to see this resonates with you and we appreciate your additional feedback related to our technology practices. One of our core values is "data drives opinion" and we rely on this to ensure that the decisions we make are made for the right reasons and that they set us up for long term success. This includes, but is not limited to, segmented user testing, A/B testing, and focus group feedback on our customer journey, all of which help to inform new features so we can be better today and perfect tomorrow. We recognize experimentation is important so we can pivot quickly and tailor our platform and services to the needs of our customers. This is why all product engineering teams are encouraged not just to be direction takers, but rather to align on the problems we are solving, partner with product managers to define MVPs and how we'll measure success, and deliver code with a "leave it better" mentality that supports comprehensive test coverage on new work as well as incremental improvements to our legacy code base. This is also why we include automated testing in both our job descriptions and career rubric for software engineers. Feedback is always welcome and we encourage team members who feel their ideas are stifled to reach out to their manager or myself directly. We believe in "disagreeing as individuals and delivering as a team" as we set our sights on continuing to be a leader in the home services industry. Our goals are shared across the business and like many organizations, annual bonuses are driven by both individual and organizational performance. This shared responsibility ensures alignment on both projects and priorities and we are excited at the momentum we have driven this year across many key initiatives. We appreciate you sharing your Angi journey and hope you experience the positive impacts of our practices over the coming months! - Amit Gulati, SVP Engineering

Pros

There are still some very talented people at Angi. I have made some connections through working there that will continue throughout my personal and professional life. Work/life balance is good.

Cons

Imagine trying to operate an entire cruise ship with only 10 people. That is what it feels like to be an engineer at Angi. There is an absurd amount of tech debt that other members of the organisation have 0 interest in fixing. There are hardly any designers so resource is scarce. The people left are either so swamped with their work or so done caring that there is very very little collaboration between teams. There are daily issues with infrastructure and not enough resources to properly fix them. All decisions are made by top execs with everyone below having little or no input. If you are a current employee - you are underpaid and new engineers walking in the door are getting much higher salaries and boat loads of stock. There is also a huge diversity problem. Most women have been driven out the engineering organisation and replaced with men.

Thank you for leaving a review and for your time spent as an Angi team member. While we're glad to hear you've made lifelong connections and enjoyed the work/life balance our culture provides, we're sorry to hear your perspective on how decisions and priorities are handled. Since we launched the Angi brand just over a year ago, we've established organizational alignment on our strategic goals & our Product and Engineering teams thoughtfully prioritize projects that directly impact these goals. We are also rapidly hiring in this competitive market and recruiting talented, diverse candidates is a top priority for our talent acquisition teams. We've also taken a proactive approach in prioritizing diversity internally with the creation of our Employee Resource Groups (ERG's) and recent company lunch celebrating International Women's Day. Management and HR are committed to being available to addressing questions or concerns individuals have around compensation or professional growth opportunities and we encourage team members to utilize these resources. We appreciate your review and wish you the best in your next endeavor. - Amit Gulati, SVP Engineering

Pros

Angi is an excellent place to work as a Software Engineer. I work in a team of smart and talented individuals. Angi is an innovative organization and continues to invest and build on industry best practices. Angi is recruiting the best talent from around the country regardless of location. The option to work as a remote employee is great.

Cons

Angi is going through a transitionary phase as it rebrands it self. There will be some growing pains as the tools and tech stack from different orgs (i.e. Angies List, Homeadvisor) are consolidated.
