Pros

Flexible schedule, on-site sales training, you can wear gym clothes or pajamas to work if you choose, free access to gym and personal trainer, a lot of great people to work with in various departments. Benefits are average (except the 401k plan which is generous once you're eligible).

Cons

Where to begin...when I started in account management, the company truly valued the hard work it's employees put in. Your effort was recognized and merit-based performance often led to promotions if you consistently exceeded your monthly goals. Yes - you USED to be able to make good money here, but now...it has become a matter of who your manager is and where your markets are that determine your financial success and longevity at this company. The office conditions in many buildings on campus are very bad...some bordering on dangerous. There are two buildings on campus that I worked in were many co-workers all complained of sinus and breathing issues. You're sitting in dilapidated, stained chairs (usually broken) and your desk might be a door on it's side. The "cubicle" walls aren't even attached. Turnover is extremely high so be prepared for that. Unfortunately, I've seen so many quality employees get fired or leave the company altogether because they had a bad month or two or they were just miserable from the stress and working conditions. For someone straight out of college, it is possible to do well here, but it definitely can be an uphill battle. Some managers definitely play favorites and promotions are often more based on who you know versus merit. Many accounts will tell you how frustrated they are by constantly getting a new account manager or rep every couple of months. Therefore this can tend to lead to a lack of confidence from the customers' perspective in both the product (advertising) and the company. Overall - this is a place to get a job - a stepping stone if you can hack it...but I wouldn't recommend a career here - at least not in sales.

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.
