Pros

-Free Food and lunches - Free Beer and Fridays end a bit early - Happy hours occasionally - Entertaining coworkers

Cons

If you are looking to go into sales for Indeed run. The other departments like client services, small business and account management are fine. The training for sales is a joke. You are sent to Connecticut for a week and are taught by a trainer who openly admitted they have never sold in their life. Then your first week you need to find 75-100 prospects. This is extremely hard to do and when you do all you have is crap prospects with a very low job volume. 2nd week you are expected to make 30 calls per day. 3rd week is ridiculous, you are expected to make 60 calls per day. It is good the first day or two but by the 3rd you have run out of people to call....and then it continues tell people quite or are let fired and you inherit a small portion of their prospects. In the sales department there are very little prospects to go around....leading to quotas not being hit. The turnover has increased dramatically and management has little to no experience to direct you. Also... Beware of the recruiters, they will say almost anything to get you on board but in reality you are just another dollar in their pockets. To sum it up INDEED is a place where salesman go to die. Under paid, not enough prospects and not enough experienced managers. Free beer though...

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.
