Pros

-Free lunches and snacks -Open PTO -Bi-monthly happy hours -Casual dress code -Awesome Seattle employees -Supportive site leadership -Fun "start-up" culture in Seattle I would give the Seattle Indeed Office 4 stars

Cons

Very big disparity between Austin and Seattle offices and Engineering and HR orgs. The Indeed Engineering org has quarterly evaluation periods for employees of all levels. The Indeed HR org doesn't do quarterly evaluations for any of their employees below the senior leadership level. -Most Talent Attraction managers sit in Austin and have very little visibility into Seattle employees performance -Micro-management -No career path for roles in Talent Attraction (recruiting) -Unclear expectations and quarterly evaluation metrics -Unclear pathway to conversion for contract employees -No confidential method to provide feedback to HR/TA leadership -Lack of women in leadership roles

Hi there, thanks so much for taking the time to rate your experience working at Indeed. We agree that the Seattle office has a great culture, and we’re sorry to see you go. It sounds like we can do a better job of communicating, as there are many solutions to the things you mention. As our business grows, so have the options for different career paths within TA. We have a very objective process to convert contractor employees to full-time employees. The outcome of each person is subjective to their experience, performance, and business need. Every team member has the ability to align themselves to different roles throughout TA or Indeed. Top performers are not only awarded monetary bonuses each quarter, but can also explore new teams or projects with guidance from their leader. Indeed's massive growth has demand that we procure talent in unique and creative ways, which has only increased opportunities for everyone. We are continually working to increase representation by recruiting strong female leaders across functional departments, and investing in organizational partnerships supporting women in tech. This is something which in TA we have had a lot of success in as the majority of our leaders are female. We’re striving to improve communication and appreciate your time to share this valuable feedback.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
