Pros

* Nice new building with great facilities in the Denver/RiNo area. * Good opportunities to work with a variety of cutting-edge technologies.

Cons

When I started at HomeAdvisor in 2015, it still very much felt like a startup. I was part of a wonderful team of developers who genuinely enjoyed each other's company and gelled well together. Needless to say, we were a highly effective and productive team. Fast forward a couple of years to when HomeAdvisor merged with Angie's List, taking the company public, and things started to change. First off, they didn't offer shares to the employees (despite vague promises to do so). Instead, they gave RSUs that vested in 3 years, and even then, only after a lot of pressure from the employees. Then they started dropping company events because "we had grown too much" and restricting team expenditure (goodbye team building activities). Slowly, they stopped promoting people internally and started hiring managers who were results-driven and not relationship-driven. Everything became about the money, and good product ideas that served the network of professionals were dismissed because they could impact profits. Good, smart people began to feel like they didn't belong anymore and started to leave. Eventually, HomeAdvisor became a company that would turn to mass layoffs as a part of its business strategy and long-term (20+ year) employees would be pushed out because they "couldn't keep up". (I also think there might have been a push to get rid of people instead of paying out those RSUs, but that is unfounded speculation). Basically, HomeAdvisor became a "me-first" kind of company and not a place that rewards loyalty, hard work, or compassion. I do not recommend working at HomeAdvisor/Angi.

Pros

My teammates were the only good thing left here. It used to be a great culture and company, but it's unrecognizable compared to what it was a couple years ago.

Cons

- CEO hired his buddies into high ranking positions and they're making decisions that clearly show they aren't qualified to hold those positions. - Layoffs are becoming a regular occurrence since Oisin joined the company. - No support or growth plans. You're either "good" and told to just keep doing what you're doing or you're "bad" and senior leadership decides to fire you without giving any constructive feedback or support to improve. - No transparency. Discussions and decisions are increasingly taking place behind closed doors. It often feels like we're on a "need to know" basis with senior leadership, we're often told blatant lies, and seem to be considered the code monkeys who should just crank out code. - We're using mostly legacy technologies, but there's so much pressure to deliver features that we're given no freedom to innovate or explore more modern frameworks or languages. - Deadlines are chosen by CEO without any input from the engineers who have to implement it. - Fear-based culture where you end up working extremely long hours to meet unrealistic deadlines because, if you don't hit the deadline, you'll get deemed "bad" and get fired/laid off.

We are in a time of transition at Angi, we recently introduced our new brand, have a new leadership team and formalized a mission and values that are bringing together our teams. Change, for any organization, is not easy, but we know we are on the right path to really revolutionize our industry and bring change to home services. Some of the changes our CTO is bringing to the table include updating our stack and allowing opportunity for innovation. We wish this former Angi teammate the best in their next opportunity - Laura Kato, SVP, HR

Pros

The teams are supportive and offer moral boost when you go weeks without a sale.

Cons

First off they hire there reps without outlining there is a class action lawsuit against the sales department of HomeAdvisor and they do this because of the following: The practices the company teaches their reps are borderline illegal and very unethical. Constantly are calling people on the National Do Not Call registry which is very illegal. The advise passed down from the management is to close the sale even when there is no benefit for the customer. Selling to people that cannot afford the product and are uneducated about how the service works. Constantly preached to do one call closes otherwise the customer will realize the product is a SCAM. The sales force targets service professionals that are borderline bankrupt or NOT service professionals at all. The company is growing their salesforce at an extreme level which is bringing every reps sales down across the board, which with the ridiculously low commision structure you will be lucky to add $400 on to your paycheck ever! Constantly calling leads that go nowhere, ex. leads pulled from facebook, yelp, and other sources that do not offer concrete information or even active #'s. When calling leads, more often than not they will scream at you for being the 15th person to call them in a 2 week time frame from HomeAdvisor. (clearly harassment) The management team when asked about what the repercussions are for calling people over and over about the service they clearly stated they "DO NOT WANT" is they would laugh and say "HomeAdvisor is to large of a company to have repercussions, because our legal team would take care of it" The list of unethical behavior within this company is sickening and it felt like a major weight lifted off my shoulders when I left. So if you feel like HomeAdvisor is your next career path ask yourself do I want to make NO money and be taught unethical sales techniques or should I pass? Always pass!
