Pros

All the pros were prior to the layoffs and now -- not so much, but to touch on the pros I'd say: Unlimited PTO One Friday a month mandatory off as well Medical, Dental, and Health Benefits

Cons

When it comes to working at Indeed, I’d say I was their biggest advocate — until now. Once 3-4 people at the top decided to resign or move on to other opportunities after being with the company for 14+ years and then the layoffs took place the company was no longer the dream it initially was. The micromanaging corporate America style has settled in. How your quota is determined is not something you will ever know, the system itself not logging accurately which is also how your performance is determined because you're just a number now & with constant changes at the beginning of every quarter and now sometimes even within the quarter itself. It seems as if they truly have no idea how to manage the current market trends and continuously push products that are not only disruptive to their clients, but employees as well. I would say this restructure is not one anyone is pleased with and the salary is not enough for what you’ll have to do on a daily basis. The environment has become chaotic, with no downtime, never clear answers, and unnecessary documentation & a role that was once taking pride in sales has become more focused on making sure administrative work is prioritized versus the sales. A company where we once were treated like humans/people is now only just a number. With quotas becoming unattainable due to the current market they continue to increase and micromanage every aspect of your book of business which in reality isn't leading to more sales, just more stress as the company panics that revenue expectations are not being met, by almost EVERYONE. Rather than listening to the feedback we as employees are providing, along with the feedback our clients are providing -- it's like they're running around like chickens with their heads cut off and you'll get cut along the way. If your workload is already up to your head, dont worry, more will be added. Not only that, rather than closing the offices to save costs since everyone was successfully doing the role and doing it well from home for 3 years, they decided its best to keep the offices open, lay off 2200 people and make those who are current employees come into the office 2x a week on Tuesday & Wednesday. Imagine having to pay rent or pay for a hotel because you have to commute and come into the office twice for a role you've done remotely for 3 years.

Pros

Work life balance is good. There are quite a few folks with kids so people respect others' personal life boundaries. Co-workers are friendly. Company has a clear mission with well defined principles SLT seems compassionate and empathetic

Cons

Weak product leadership with little knowledge on best PM practice. This is not a good place to learn how to be a good PM. Folks have different expectations on what PMs should do and expect PMs to solely execute and program management. Short-term focused and short-sighted execution with no focus on a coherent product vision and well defined product strategy. Inconsistent and opaque decision making process with no open communication between ICs and VPs. Poor and inefficient middle management is making it worse. To my surprise my manager is doing IC work (i.e. duplicating my work) instead of reviewing/editing my work.

Toxic managers

Pros

* Smart colleagues * YOU days * Permanent remote option for those who love it. * Quarterly bonus payout.

Cons

* Has some toxic managers in Hyd. Micromanages to the level where even if you breath, it has to be documented. Manager asks for too much of things to be done in a short time. * Open PTO is a myth, nobody even takes their allocated leaves. Even when you take a leave, the manager will ask for the purpose leave. * Too much of metric-driven work, which asks you to work as per competency metrics rather than focusing on actual work. * Focus on JIRA count *Doesn't care about challenges of Remote work. *Too many useless meetings *Too many tracks you will be pulled into, leading to poor WLB * No ESPP option, poor RSU planner *If you get meets expectation, it is possible you may get 0% hike annually. *Complex/tiring performance review process which happens every 6 months.
