Angi reviews

The overall team dynamic changed significantly— and not for the better—after Jeff became CEO and after I was re-organized into another department. Some teams seemed to spend more energy pushing others back rather than focusing on getting things done. Yet, those same teams somehow received most of the attention, support, and resources when it came to hiring decisions and team building. Over time, I began noticing signs of racial bias. People with lighter skin often received more attention, support, and even higher pay, while people of color were treated differently. As a person of color with a senior title, I discovered that one of my team members—who held a lower title than me—was being paid more. When I raised this concern with my manager, he dismissed it by saying, 'We have a wide salary range.' Despite the fact that I had a strong reputation among the 40+ business stakeholders I supported alone. At one point, the CEO even stated during an engineering all-hands meeting that he does not support DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). He also cut sales team salaries by 30%, claiming that they were overpaid.

Priorities change with the wind or whenever upper management wants to feel like they're doing something. Work/life balance is touted as important, but then "high priority" initiatives mean cutting vacation short or being left behind. One of the new core values that leadership is so proud of - Do More With Less - is a pathetic cover for cutting raises, bonuses and shares. Pulse surveys are only used to make management feel like they are doing a good job, not for actually listening to employee problems. You will not become a better developer here - only a better Angi employee by wasting your time learning how to program in their specific set ups. "Culture" means drinking the cool aid and buying Angi merch or using their new zoom background images while being excited that your team was congratulated in a useless meeting instead of being given a raise. Disorganization at every level and big decisions are made with no plan for implementing them.
