Pros

- (Most of) the people - The perks (snacks, food, sponsored intramural sports, happy hours, holiday parties, etc.) - The feel of a "fast paced tech environment" - Good Training & Development (T&D) program Overall it was a good work experience learning the recruitment advertising industry. Indeed and competitors have played a major role in shifting the old-school mentality of Human Resources and Corporate Recruiting. It was exciting to be a part of it, and experience the beginning of their now massive corporate growth. Indeed was fast paced and fun, with a young environment and tons of perks. You're able to bond with your co-workers, both inside and outside of work, and forge great relationships.

Cons

- The Management Team - Favoritism on Promotions / Politics - Simplicity of product leads to feeling inept The product is (for the most part) a "one trick pony". Once you have attained a certain Indeed skill-set and working knowledge, it leaves you wondering "What's next?" To add to that, the management team of Past, Present (overheard from co-workers I know are still at Indeed), and (likely) in the Future is very much your typical high school clique. 1:1's were filled with drama and gossip; management making false promises on growth and promotions or career trajectory; or taking ideas and using them to their own benefit. At the time I was there, the company went through a major overhaul, and the entire Small Business (SMB) tier went through a re-brand, which I believe was necessary for the better of the business, but it lead to many peculiar and strange promotions. This led many to believe there was strong favoritism among the masses. That's not even mentioning how some of the management team behaved in social settings. I witnessed management swipe serious employee injuries (influenced by corporate funded Happy Hours) under the rug. I had seen senior leaders engage in altercations with bar patrons at the local bars (which by the way are flooded with Indeed people every night of the week) -- these two occasions among many others.

Pros

Great people, typical benefits from a large tech company

Cons

Things changed a lot over the years and leadership never seemed interested in guiding us through the challenges with grace, earnestness, and influence. Constantly ignored grievances and often advised employees to look for opportunities elsewhere if job was too much.

Pros

Indeed has great a SLT, open PTO and other great benefits, free food at offices, great inclusion programs and activities.

Cons

Managers aren’t managed and can too easily get away with creating toxic team cultures. The entire HR org needs restructuring and training. All of middle leadership needs leadership training. It’s too easy for IC’s who brown nose and only think of themselves to get ahead while those who think of the team at large and future team members are targeted and perceived as disrupters. Siloes are created and some managers use that as a tactic to divide team members and support some more than others or not at all. Career growth is associated with who your manager is and whether they really want to support you or not. Some middle managers have too much control over employee advancement and directors look the other way or aren’t present at all. At first Indeed valued culture and diversity but that has also been tainted by individuals in middle management. My former team is now all white women, mostly of a certain age with similar backgrounds and lifestyles. Only one man remains and one person of color who’s a contractor.
