Review for Non-engineer Position

Anonymous employee

Pros

1. Company culture, 2. Benefits, 3. Flexibility, 4. Smart and creative workmates (which tells a lot about Indeed notoriously being VERY picky in hiring), 5. Relatively-young people to work with, 6. Data-driven decision-making, 7. Senior management's effort to make everyone feels great working here.

Cons

1. Could have been better pay for the amount of work we're responsible for, 2. Treat your non-engineer employees equally. Don't make us feel like second-class citizens, 3. Watch out for middle-managers and their office politics.

Pros

Comp plan is great, unlimited potential. The environment is pretty easy-going, not you typical sales pit. The office is very relaxed, dress is casual and a full stocked kitchen. It's about as good as it get its aside from the Facebook and Google offices. The product is the best in its industry no doubt. You are given inbound leads and almost everyone knows Indeed's name, so selling isn't that difficult.

Cons

Leadership is slightly lacking, none of the managers or directors were hired from within Indeed and are all brand new. The people are great, but there's not a whole lot of energy and uniqueness to the business. Everyone kind of just does there own thing, granted most everyone is pretty friendly and willing to help out.

Pros

Indeed is a decent introduction into the world of recruitment advertising. The company offers a solid product, and the employees (though ever-changing) probably the best part of working there.

Cons

Where to begin... - 60-call quota every day. - Micro-management of your activity, to the point where it's counterproductive. - A revolving door of new faces, as they're unable to keep anyone for longer than a year. Typical age of a new sales rep: 22. Fresh out of college and ready to attack their first sales role. Somewhat Boiler Room-esque. - No incentives to stay longer than a year, as you realize quickly there's no room for advancement. - The people that have advanced into managerial roles are typically the ones who've been there since the days when Indeed actually had plenty of opportunity for its sales reps. - Oh yeah, NO OPPORTUNITY for sales reps. You create every single lead that you eventually call as there is NO LEAD GENERATION. Every lead you look at, every person you dial has probably been contacted by 6 other reps within the organization. Because you have to fight every other rep for leads and there's no protection of your book whatsoever, good luck trying to nurture a prospect for longer than a few months. - Their homegrown CRM is an absolute joke. For a company occupying the SalesForce building, you'd think they'd actually get with the 21st century and use SalesForce. - Middle management means well, but generally impotent. - Upper management is obtuse, opaque, and downright sluggish to implement any potential improvement. I could on for a lot longer, but I should be fair. If you're considering joining Indeed fresh out of college and have no other choices, go ahead and apply. If you've been in sales for a while, look elsewhere.
