Pros

Great benefits because Angi is under IAC umbrella, flexible time off, respectful coworkers etc; standard corporate tech company

Cons

I've been with Angi over 4 years this company went thru merger after merger, which caused changing of the leadership which caused changing of the priorities and product map. First of all there is almost no career growth and no promotion opportunities, your average day is spent on never ending tech dept. Weird deadlines and no clear product map. Angi ( Angie's List, Home Advisor, Service Town etc) been around over 20 years they still talking about tapping into $500 Billion market, which is a big bs, if a company like this with army of employees and resources hasn't tapped into that market in 20 years that means something is really really wrong with the company. IAC recently appointed Oisin as the CEO who then fired all the product leadership made Angie's List and HomeAdvisor actually a revenue generating company, so a CEO who never made profit in his life and created his company with VC money comes and fires all the people who turned the company around, you get the idea... Guess what? Did Oisin fired anyone from Handy (from the company he created) ? Probably not... But then recently he fired another 40-50 people from engineering team, again probably nobody in Handy got fired. TLDR; If you are a Software Developer, steer clear this company, my one foot out of the door as well.

Thank you for leaving a candid review. We are in a transitional period as we transform our business and brand translating to changes across leadership and team structure. We are sorry to hear that you are not as excited about some of these decisions as we are. While the priorities have shifted over the years we have a clearly defined mission which is to be the home for all things home, a feat no company in the industry currently offers to homeowners and service providers in one place. Taking on such a big mission means that big change needs to transpire which has been evident in some of the decisions made that specifically impact our technical teams. We are excited to watch as these changes propel us forward and encourage you to reach out to our CTO, Kulesh, directly should you have additional concerns. – Laura Kato, SVP People

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.
