"HomeAdvisor started inside Microsoft. Great Management, Great Team. Partnering with Banks & Lending institutions went off great. Freddie & Fannie were willing to play as well. The Business team unfortunately killed this wonderful project."
What do you like about working at HomeAdvisor?
"Our GM was a fantastic Person. One in a Million. Our CTO was a fantastic Person one in a million. A Dream Team. The Team they put together was a dream team. Everyone were smart and heads down in building the best. We had no dearth of resources. We had a fantastic project and thus we were winning."
What don't you like about working at HomeAdvisor?
"Very little. None of us know about how Poorly the Business Team were performing and how out of depth they were."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"In retrospect - I would submit to the GM - a man I honor - that You did know that Business group were a barrel of rotten eggs. I honestly think that in weighing the larger interests of the phenomenal success your team were delivering you would have delivered greater value by creating an alternate business team, by sacking them, by calling them out, by escalating their performance to the VP .. anything at all but letting them run with what they did .. and run the effort to the ground.Its precisely like Google today - if they do not monetize on a very successful basis - they are just a foot note in history."
