Pros

There are a lot of software teams that have great people trying to do their job with what they were given.

Cons

Vertical management that keeps growing. Forced to use HomeAdvisor specific libraries wrapping outdated frameworks. Teams have very little control to change anything or use what they need. Outdated internally built monitoring systems that's coupled to everything. Distributed monolith instead of microservices all with shared libraries and shared oracle db. Not following microservice standards that the rest of the tech industry follows. Not a great work life balance depending on your team.

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.
