Angi Engineer reviews

-There is a fear of change anything around the core product since it is a current source of revenue. Unfortunately that prevents the improvement of known customer complaints and things discovered by employees dog-fooding the product. These changes might impact revenue over the short term, but would result in a stronger product and brand if there was the courage to change. This can be rather demoralizing to those to are customer satisfaction oriented. -Some people shouldn't be in management positions. -Management is good at talking, but not at listening or implementation. -Lack of opportunities to grow career or learn new skills. One Crucial conversations training over the last 3 years, while useful, doesn't count. -Salary is not as competitive for similar roles at other technology companies. There was no annual raise discussion and the unofficial saying was that the best way to get a raise was to get a new job offer. -Often times gestures of appreciation to employees don't feel genuine and ring hollow; this can feel especially stingy after repeatedly hearing how much profit we've made year over year. This is most true when relating to things that IAC has a hand in deciding. As a majority stakeholder of ANGI/HomeAdvisor IAC frequently puts the needs of its shareholders and execs above that of the hardworking employees who create the value. When going public with the ANGI acquisition it took an outspoken employee during a town hall with IAC to force their hand in giving out shares to everyone. Unfortunately these ultimately wound up having an absurd vesting structure that I've never seen used at any other technology company. -Company wants to project a culture of a 'Cool' technology company, but the actual execution has a long way to go. Needs to act like a top-tier tech company and not just pretend.
