Pros
None. Not anymore, anyway. For years I couldn’t have imagined working anywhere else. But ever since the announcement that they were being bought out by IAC (the parent company of Home Advisor — our biggest competitor), it went downhill FAST.
Kontras
Long hours, constantly under micro-management, compensation is not NEARLY as good as it used to be (and the comp plans change CONSTANTLY), goals are set so high that it’s difficult to earn a bonus, so you really just have to rely on your base salary, morale is at an all-time low, employees are constantly worrying if they’re going to have a job this time next week, you can get written up for something as simple as getting up and going to the restroom, no clear direction of the company, opportunities for advancement are non-existent (unless your friends with the right people in the right places), health benefits are average at best, campus is awesome but you never get a chance to enjoy it because you can’t leave your desk without a reprimand and break times are so short you can’t afford to go very far. Management gave me a hard time for a PTO request for a dentist appointment when I still had plenty to use for such things. Now they’re close to the acquisition by IAC taking place, and of issuing (yet another round of) layoffs with a severance, now they’re offering those employees a much lower position with lower compensation and forcing them to quit so they don’t have to pay out severances. Their technology is antiquated and fails often, service providers hate Angie’s List because we bombard them with phone calls that they don’t want to receive, constant changes in business practices, teams have to move around all the time (literally about every 2-3 months)... Angie’s List has become the laughing stock of the Indianapolis business community.
