Pros

Profitable business Strong product teams Friendly front-line managers and coworkers(front-line engineers)

Cons

Very toxic engineering culture, a culture of neglect: No training or knowledge transfer sessions for new hires. From CTO to directors, push you to figure out everything. It's like a new tax driver driving in a new city without a map. The only help is your coworkers and front-end managers(some of them are nice). But many of them already left. Lots of legacy code, yet they put new hires on-call 24hrs support. good luck! No vision: CTO/SVP/Senior Managers has no sense of architecture or any vision or long term plans. They are laziest I've ever worked with. When you ask them about architecture or roadmaps, they will ignore you. As engineering managers, they don't care about quality at all. When you fail, they blame you.

Pros

It’s work from home. Two 15 minute breaks and an hour lunch.

Cons

They are a very dishonest company. The hype up the job but in reality what you’ll be doing is spending all day calling random numbers in which about 95% of those people either won’t answer the phone or if they do, you will be hung up on within like two seconds. Not to mention the Angie reputation is so bad. It’s actually notoriously bad that even if you are able to get someone on the phone for more than a couple of minutes they’ll still end up hanging up just because of how bad Angie is. In my opinion Angie is a dishonest company selling a dishonest service because most of the leads they sell are fake and most of the leads they give their employees to call are also fake and if you don’t make these outrageous sales numbers you’re fired it’s a reason why the employee benefits don’t kick in until three months in because they know 95% of the people they hire won’t still be working there in three months because they will not hit the sales quotas. The only good thing about this job is its work from home really. And the hot leads they say they have 95% are fake or just someone who looked at a spam email. It’s actually comical how deceptive this company is.
