Pros

Decent pay, good work hours (if you're in the right market)

Cons

Where to begin....I worked on the service provider side with advertising, so this is all related to that side....the monthly goals are set up for someone to fail from the start, when certain things that are out of your control and have nothing to do with you, affect your paycheck, but the company just won't do anything about it. The company has their own agenda....all about the money. They are trying to sell based on a dream, since the product itself for service pros, just doesn't work, selling thousands and thousands of dollars in advertising, that has zero return on their investment, but again, the negative impact is thrown onto the individual, and the company takes all liability off themselves. It's no secret that Angie's List has been in trouble, but yet the company continues to act like everything is gold, and just does not admit that they there are problems. For companies that spend thousands a year, and they still provide a product that yields no return for most. They train with the idea of actually selling on belief vs selling on results. Almost every conversation with the pros is negative in tone, no results, no return...this is a daily constant, so if you enjoy getting yelled and cursed at for 8 hours a day, and not being able to do anything about it, then this is a perfect job for you. Their selling process has certain points where you just have to lie to sell it, the company knows it, and they're ok with it, in fact, they push it. The managers put very high stress, and threatening career behaviors into driving results, and when that doesn't work, they lean on the belief that it's all the individuals fault, and take no blame on their own. The upper management within this department is awful; doesn't listen to feedback, doesn't show care or concern for the individuals, and doesn't seem to understand what we actually do, day to day. Leaders placed processes into place, that actually hindered our department from being successful (many is proprietary so I can't explain them), and continues to lay off great people because of it. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone!! It's a sinking ship, and I'm glad I'm not going to be on board when that happens.

Pros

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.

Cons

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".

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
