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
