If you're using AngularJS then using Protractor is a good idea.

If you use protractor you can use it's waitForAngular() method which will wait for http requests to complete. It's still good practise to wait for elements to be displayed before acting on them, depending on your language and implementation it might look this in a synchronous language

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(webDriver, timeoutInSeconds);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id));

Or in JS you can use wait method which executes a function until it returns true

browser.wait(function () {
    return browser.driver.isElementPresent(elementToFind);
});
