Pros

The previously Handy leadership is a brotherhood. If you’re lucky enough to get invited in your experience will be distinctively better than those who don’t.

Cons

I have never seen a company this large ran so poorly. The communication across product verticals and down to the development teams is abysmal. Layoffs are frequent and sneaky. People just disappear from slack one day with zero acknowledgement from leadership. Most “underperformance” is a direct result of poor leadership and calloused upper management decisions that have no regard for the people it impacts. Engineering leaders are hyper critical and distrusting of anyone outside of the brotherhood. Micromanagement is a common practice of Angi leadership, and it is not uncommon to have the failure of imposed leadership decisions placed on the teams. I have seen entire teams removed for “performance” when a subpar leader failed to properly plan and allocate resources. The upper leadership tries to run a large organization like Angi as if it were the small startup for which they are all most familiar. The result is chaos, and is a Petri dish for germinating mental and emotional burnout for their engineering groups. The Tech Bro attitude is rampant among leadership who appear to be attempting to recreate the concept of boy kings the industry tried to get away from after Zuckerberg. Since the Angi merger in 2021 the percentage of diversity in the Angi engineering group continues to trend down. Management skills are not a requirement for management positions, and often candidates with poor leadership skills but considered technical are prioritized over candidates with significant leadership abilities but viewed by the brotherhood as less than in technical abilities. Middle managers have almost no say in the direction of their own teams and are often not consulted before staffing changes or compensation amounts are finalized. Engineering Managers are expected to stay relevant at a principal engineer level of technical aptitude while sitting in meetings for the majority of their time. The dichotomy of these expectations results in a stressed out middle management who have little time to spare for the teams they were hired to manage. If anyone is paying attention to the meteoric decline of Angi this is a great case study on how to destroy three companies at once while lining the pockets of those responsible for their destruction.

Pros

Great health insurance and other benefits.

Cons

You are simply a number to this corporation and only seen as competent if you produce unreasonable and tracked expectations productivity. Extremely low pay and lack of respect given the emotional labor and work that is done by the team. Upper management takes advantage of employees by giving false promises for an eventual promotion (that never will happen) if you do more supervisor work - when really they are passing off THEIR work for you to do for free. If you refuse - they blackmail you saying you aren't showing them "leadership traits" they want to see and continue to dangle a carrot over your head. I saw this happen to loyal team members for years with no benefit or advancement. At one point, they put a block on letting me and other team members interview for opportunities in other departments because our team had such a HIGH turnover - (due to the management and difficulty of our jobs). Shortly after this, I put in my notice and got a job with a company that actually respected me and my career goals. It was only after I left that I realized how emotionally abusive this company was to its employees.

Pros

Health benefits People -that is honestly it

Cons

I worked here for almost 3 years. In the office it was fun and we had free lunch and dinner but wfh has completely changed the company. Angi is very cheap-nobody can live off of a 30k base salary. While I liked my manager and teammates and did well, the job itself is horrible. Nobody wants to cold call every day. Even if you need to put something on your resume if you are new, I would still avoid it as there are a lot of lawsuits against the co and it has a horrible reputation. The leads are so bad that you end up leaving voicemails all day long for no money. I did well the first 2 years but when we merged with Angie’s list, (formally homeadvisor) everything went downhill. Nobody is happy working here, these positives reviews must be fake. I’m not one to leave reviews but take another job with a decent base salary-30k is honestly offensive. They will lie and say you will make a lot of money here, do not listen. I was a top rep and made 70k (and I was in the 1%). I don’t even think that number is possible anymore. Go with a co that actually respects and values you and gives you a livable base. Especially during these times people are looking for employees, do not waste your time here.

We appreciate your review and thoughtful feedback. The benefits offered and the people we employ are great perks to working at Ang, however, we are disheartened by the rest of your review. While we did have numerous on site benefits extended to team members, our leadership believes that team members can be successful wherever they work. With most employees choosing to work from home in the past year, we've gotten more creative in getting teams together with virtual activities and contests. While there's been change since our rebrand to Angi, there's a huge opportunity to scale our platform and continue to be a leader in the home services industry. Sales representatives across the organization are extended an uncapped commission structure with top performers making in the $300-430K range. We also recently introduced the ability to specialize by vertical where many reps have seen huge success. Thank you for your review and for your 3 years spent as an Angi team member - we wish you the best in your next role. - Tom Cheatham, SVP Sales Strategy
