Pros

they used to have good commissions and the people are pretty cool.

Cons

HomeAdvisor has the WORST and I mean worst rep in the industry. Anybody looking to get hired there i would tell you to go do your research before you apply. There is a trend of online reviews that will really give you the idea of what HA is all about and I can tell you they are doing A LOT and I mean A LOT of very underhanded things. First of all this was a great job once upon a time. Payouts were good. They had some if very little integrity. Now it is all washed down the drain. There are around 15000 negative reviews online about homeadvisor. They lets the top sales reps lie (you will see this in employee reviews as a trend because it is true) this makes the contractors go online and give us bad reviews. No integrity whatsoever. A lot of the top reps are spanish speaking and they dont get listened to so they say and do say whatever to get the sale. They are also started to outsource sales more and more to Jamaica etc so you are getting less sales to make money. They also just purchased Angies list so they are selling one lead to not only ha contractors but AL too. But they dont tell the sales reps that. LOL They purposely withhold information to sales so the contractor is not set up properly. Half your accounts will cancel because they either go and google ha after they signed up or they receive made up false leads of dead people or people that dont exist or already have had project done for months. Everything within this company is more then unscrupulous. I would suggest googling and youtubing ha before you even bother applying. There are multiple class action lawsuits that are just waiting to come to fruition. Too bad HA can't just do the right thing. The managers are in on it too, letting there sales reps lie, adding tasks, coverage areas to make it a payable sales. With all of the great jobs out there and HA being a slowly but surely sinking ship I would say dont say yourself short and find another job. Also there are reps here that have their own crawlers to get prospects, meanwhile the reps that don't lie and dont have crawlers and just blowing in the wind, and looking for a better job.

Pros

1. The work is mostly interesting and challenging. 2. My team is pretty awesome. I'm very lucky and grateful to have ans engineering manager that really takes an interest in the well being of our team, but still strives to make a strong impact in the company. Everyone on my team is very supportive and willing to jump into solving a problem at a moments notice. There are no egos on my team. 3. The work from home policy is fantastic. I get to save commuting money, but I never feel "alone". We have daily standups and ad-hoc meetings, so we collaborate frequently. 4. There is some opportunity to learn new technology, though I would prefer if it were more often. 5. Management seems pretty transparent and honest with the company. I never feel like the C-suite is hiding anything. We have regular "all-hands" meetings where they discuss the state of the company, our success and failures, where we are going as a company and how to get there. I really like that communication and honesty. 6. Angi is regularly asking for feedback to improve itself. That is wonderful, and rare. I've worked at previous companies that never did anything like this, and it showed. I'm very glad that Angi is always striving to be a great place to work. 7. Angi is serious about clearly documenting our work. Whether that's holding RFC meetings, writing spike docs, or just building simple information docs in confluence. 8. Angi has onsites where employees can travel to meet in person. I've been to a couple and they are great. Would love for this to happen more often. I sometimes here they plan twice a year, but that doesn't always happen.

Cons

1. Angi has a lot of outdated code and systems, decades worth. This causes some serious issues with the products, and makes working with them significantly harder than it needs to be. Luckily, management is aware and has initiatives in place to migrate off these legacy systems. Just a matter of when. 2. Like many companies these days, Angi is trying to use AI more in daily work life. This has pros and cons. So far, I have not seen the benefit of it, hence I'm posting in the "cons" section. I think there is a general lack of knowledge on how to use it. 3. Lately there has been a push to "move faster", especially now with the adoption of AI tools. I have seen teams making some poor choices, resulting in costly mistakes. I would love to return (at least a little) to a slower, more thoughful approach. A "measure twice, cut once" approach, not "ship now, fix later".

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
