Pros
I have been very pleasantly surprised with Angi after accepting the offer because I felt it was a gamble due to previous glassdoor reviews. I read of people abandoning ship, senior management coming from an unprofitable startup (Handy), unprofitable company, no control over what is built, totally unstable infrastructure, etc. Most of this turned out to be mostly in the past by the time I had joined and almost entirely in the past as of today. For company direction a lot of this was solved with change of leadership--Joey Levin has resolved most of my concerns--we just had our first profitable quarter in years and have created a more focused, healthy vision. Regarding infra and engineering challenges--Angi is full of really top tier talent that are solving these issues. I've been continually impressed with many of the engineers, managers, and directors I work with. Being an engineer here is pretty flexible. If you like your level of responsibility they'll let you hang out there and if you want to strive they'll provide you opportunities to grow. It's a very fair and stable engineering organization, in my opinion. It's not as much fun as a greenfield startup, of course, but the technical challenges are good and I'm definitely learning a great deal. A lot of progress is being made in many areas across the org to constantly improve the engineering experience here with observability, reporting, stability, security, etc. Now, that progress is slower that it needs to be due to a RFC process that needs refreshing but mostly it's reasonable and the right decisions are being made, which is great. I'm having a good time and see myself being here a while!
Cons
Lack of community in the offices. Don't expect to meet people even if you go in regularly due to remote-first culture. Your team will be scattered all around.
