- Director level PM’s and above are not held accountable in any way, shape or form for how they manage, micro-manage and treat their direct reports. Same can be said on the software engineering side. It's honestly quite shocking.
- You WILL NOT have any opportunity for advancement unless you directly report to one particular VP. If you report to any of the Directors or other VP’s, you will not advance. Period. The few PM’s who have done well have reported directly to this one person. Everyone else, regardless of merit, has stayed exactly where they’re at. If you're looking for a chance to grow with equal opportunity, HomeAdvisor is not the place for you. This is one of the single biggest issues not talked about within the company.
- Historically, they do not pay their PM’s and Software Engineers well, but they’ve been forced to increase base salary a little to start being more competitive. Fight for everything you can get right away - you will not receive a pay raise, no matter how hard you work, unless you’re promoted…which isn’t likely (see previous statement).
