Pros

I have to put words here. In all honesty, it used to be really great. It used to be an environment where people felt valued, smart colleagues working together to solve complex problems, and generally a really great place to work. There is a reason HomeAdvisor was listed as a top place to work for 5 years in a row. Then HomeAdvisor rebranded as Angi and well, everything I just described went off a cliff.

Cons

Leadership changed over a few times and the environment is unrecognizable from the one I joined years ago. Deadlines are chosen like a game of darts on a calendar and no one is rewarded for actually meeting the outrageous deadline that was decided. There are surprise layoffs that seem to strategically happen before financial events like company earnings, employee stock vestings, the annual bonus review, etc. To which leadership will say those who were let go were "low performers", they were not. Often times managers are also left out of these discussions and are just as surprised as the employees are. If you are looking for a place to be rewarded for hard work, feel valued, work alongside smart coworkers, and have a great work/life balance then you will want to look elsewhere. HomeAdvisor/Angi somehow always finds new lows to the cliff it fell off of.

Pros

they have a ping pong table

Cons

Leadership is terrible. A small cabal of "Leaders" basically use "top-down" the entire time and constantly pressure product teams to deliver against arbitrary timelines. It's hecktic. Moreover, I have seen good developers, managers, and product people thrown under the bus due to poor process. Promotions are slow and small if they happen at all.

Pros

There are a lot of software teams that have great people trying to do their job with what they were given.

Cons

Vertical management that keeps growing. Forced to use HomeAdvisor specific libraries wrapping outdated frameworks. Teams have very little control to change anything or use what they need. Outdated internally built monitoring systems that's coupled to everything. Distributed monolith instead of microservices all with shared libraries and shared oracle db. Not following microservice standards that the rest of the tech industry follows. Not a great work life balance depending on your team.
