      It was better before but with leadership changes things are not so great

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Unlimited PTO - Work life balance used to be great before the new CEO came

      Cons

      - Randomly laying off talented employees (I am still working but so many of my talented colleagues were let go with a two minutes long explanation). Even the Dev managers did not know that their group members were laid off by the higher up. First set of lay offs went on Product people and without explanation and the second set of lay offs went on developers and no prior notice. - Poor severance. One week salary for the every six months of work. People who got laid off before two years, lost the employer contribution of 401k. - When the Higher ups were asked why this big lay offs, they said it was due to the path those devs were taking. All on a sudden all the devs were required a full-stack knowledge to succeed in the company. But their managers were giving them thumbs up on their path on the Role Success Docs. So, not only people who got laid off but also their managers had zero idea about the lay offs. - Random deadlines without any specific product direction which leads to burnout on employees. - cliche but worth mentioning that the salary is below market standard. - You are required to have full-stack knowledge of Backend even if you are an iOS dev and hired for specific role.

      We are sorry to hear your discontent about recent changes made within the technical arm of our business. While change can be hard at first, we are excited about the new leaders we have added to our team and the knowledge and experience they bring to help us on our mission to be the home for all things home. We understand software engineering is a continuum; present is built on the past and the future will be built on the present. As we set up Angi to massively disrupt the home services market one of the major investment areas is to gear up our technical stack and practices to support Angi's new mission. We have embarked on a variety of new efforts to align both our teams and our culture through the development of values and coming together to tackle exciting challenges such as the re-brand to Angi. We appreciate your feedback and encourage you to reach out to our CTO, Kulesh, directly should you have any additional concerns that he can directly address. – Laura Kato, SVP People

      Senior Leadership Has Tanked the Engineering Org

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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
