AngelList
Reviews and Complaints

I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the plumbing service I received through Angi On 8/2/2023, you sent one of your recommended plumbers to address a plumbing issue at my property. Unfortunately, the service provided was not only ineffective but also left me with unresolved problems and a significant financial loss.

I would like to bring to your attention the following details regarding the service I received:

Service Date: 5/2/2023

On the date, Your Plumber's arrived promptly at my property to assess and fix the plumbing issue. While I appreciate his punctuality, I was deeply dissatisfied with the quality and outcome of his work. Despite spending approximately two hours at my property, he was unable to resolve the problem completely.

To my surprise, Plumber’s informed me that he needed to conduct further research and would return promptly to address the issue. However, I regret to inform you that he never fulfilled this commitment and failed to provide any updates or subsequent services.

This entire experience has left me in a state of inconvenience and financial burden. I paid the agreed-upon fee for the service in good faith, expecting a resolution to my plumbing problem. Regrettably, I have been left with unresolved issues and the lingering feeling of being taken advantage of.

Therefore, I kindly request the following actions to be taken:

Had my patio an walkway done by shabab from professional gen construction corp. Left several messages no call back from shabab. My yard was left like a junk yard. Project not completed.

Angellist employs some employees who are not fit to be part of any professional organization. In my case it was an analyst named Kashish Sharma from Vellore Institute of Technology, currently employed at Angellist. His behaviour is extremely high handed and when I enquired about a potential investor relationship he rejected it initially and then came up with completely [censored]ty reasons. He has no respect for human beings and does not know how to be a professional. It's sad to see such people being part of a platform which I always thought is for the greater good

Recruiters firstt approach you ask you to set an interview time and tgen don't respond. You need to respect a persons time which doesn't happen here. A oeroan is spending time looking for a job here and people here thin it is a joke. Highly disappointed. Tell all people to never use Angelist. Never. It is a scam . You will just waste your time . Horrible

Fake jobs that they don't really want us applying to.

I've been applying for contract roles on AngelList, the supposed networking site for startups. Recently, I found out (by trying to run a search and getting broken results) that my account had been suspended. When I sent in feedback about the error, I got an email from AngelList letting me know that due to "promoting my business" I had been suspended.

Here's what I was doing: searching for companies that advertised UX design roles. Clicking the "interested in that company" button. Sometimes the company required a note, so I wrote a quick description of who I was, what I could do, and why they should hire me.

For the life of me, I can't think of another way I could apply for these jobs--or why that is considered a suspendable offense. Isn't applying for a job at heart promoting yourself? Wouldn't I be a pretty rotten job seeker if I DIDN'T promote myself when applying?

Someone else on this complaint board mentioned that these job listings are mostly spam and fake anyway, so perhaps the fishers faking the jobs were tired of getting my name in their list. IDK. None of it makes any sense. But I will be deleting my account, and warning my network to stay off AngelList. It's kinda jumped the shark already anyway, hasn't it?

I discovered AngelList recently. I tried the service to look for jobs in start-ups as AngelList is dedicated to start-ups.

I was first surprised by the amount of good job offers and the amount of start-ups "recruiting".

I quickly came back to earth. False advertisement and fake job posting are not only the specialities of big job boards or large corporations, nor is fraudulent advertising.

After having tried to contact a number of start ups because they were posting really interesting jobs, I found out that most of them never posted the jobs there, the adverts were there since time immemorial with no real openings behind it, jobs were outdated, firms closed, some companies didn't even exist legally, or the profiles online were simply fake ones to get private and personal data.
Some start ups also use the platform as a way to promote themselves and posting so called "job offers" make them look "successful".

In most countries, including the UK and the USA, false adversing is illegal and can be punished by law.

In the recruitment sector, most of jobs posted online are de facto not real openings, job boards and recruiting firms want to gather data and create traffic, corporations want to build "talent" data banks and promote an image of growth, so they post fake jobs.

Linkedin, monster, indeed, are full of these postings. You will notice these are always the same jobs, the same firms advertising all year round and often seasonally at the same periods.

I juts didn't expect AngelList and some of their "start-ups" to use the same unethical practices.

Lesson learnt. As a result I removed my account and don't recommend this platform.
I lost time there and they've lost my trust.
