Pros

- Intelligent team members - Most managers genuinely care about their reports - Unlimited PTO (I took 30ish days in 2022) - WFH if you live outside a hub city (for now, at least)

Cons

I’m posting because Angi is currently hiring for a new SEO Content Editor. My advice is, if you’re early in your career, consider it if you don’t have other options. If you have other options or have more than 2 years of experience, look elsewhere. I had 5 years and it felt like an intro job. - It’s basically a content mill. You’ll edit an absurd amount of content of varying degrees of quality and density; Angi only works with freelance writers and many of them are not strong writers. The one in-house writer quit recently. You’ll sometimes write an article. - Quantity over quality: Your managers will, of course, claim they care more about quality than quantity. While this is likely true, in practice, that’s not the case. You’re expected to hit the goals no matter what, and the end of every month is always a fire drill. Leadership now says that they’re moving away from a quantity goal in 2023, but I doubt much will change in terms of pressure or lofty goals that really don't matter other than appeasing C-level. - Shifting expectations. Everyone in digital marketing understands that goals change as needs arise. However, my manager would spring new goals on us even after communicating via email that X was the goal for the next week. Then, in the middle of already pushing to hit that goal, they would Slack to tell us to nearly double that goal with a few days to go, saying that they, quote, “Already knocked out two” articles, only for my teammate and I to learn that those “knocked out” articles were full of errors, underscoring that my manager didn't understand the effort and attention to detail our roles require. - Pay discrepancies. Everyone on the team was very qualified, had comparable experience, and did the same amount of challenging work. The pay gap—even when accounting for location—was broad: one team member made ~$10k less than I did and lived in an equally high COL area. - No growth opportunities. You’ll be an SEO Content Editor for your tenure. There’s literally no room for growth. One editor was promoted in my 1.5 years there, and others were looking for promotions—for which there is no path. Without being hyperbolic, I didn’t learn any new skills or improve existing ones while at Angi. Everyone who quit is now in either a senior or manager position. - High turnover. 5 of the 10 editors, plus a manager, quit between summer and December, most of us sharing similar frustrations. This will likely continue if things don’t change. - Poor company culture. Angi is going through a lot of changes. Higher-ups will point to a vague Angi Value (there’s a lot of them) about being “better today, perfect tomorrow,” without addressing employees’ concerns in the monthly Pulse surveys. Yes, managers read them, but I can’t point to a single thing that improved. Outside of the team, Angi as a whole is in a rough spot, and people are quitting or getting fired left and right. It’s not a good look when the CEO announces RTO within 3 weeks and then “steps down” a couple weeks later to be replaced by the parent company’s CEO. I’m sure they’ll reply about growth, adapting to change, etc., but let’s be honest: Angi is a four-letter word to a growing number of pros on whom Angi relies to exist. Just read any of the hundreds of Sales reviews.

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.
