Pros

Angie's List has a great company culture as I was lucky enough to work with superiors who were truly invested in my success and well-being. The hoky department in charge of corporate culture/happiness wasn't needed, because the people made it exist and the from the CEO all the way down the message was that we are a family that takes care of its own. Of course, you have disgruntled employees--sales is hard and not for everyone, but those who had a talent for it and worked hard found success almost invariably. Those that tried to coast, hide, or do just enough often found themselves frustrated.

Cons

The biggest drawback was that the IT team wasn't up to the challenge of taking the company where it needed to go and hence they found themselves bought by Home Advisor after falling way behind. It's tantalizing to think of where the company would be right now if they had top-notch IT development abilities five years ago. Perhaps the merger will help in this regard.

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.
