Pros

Great corporate culture of Diversity and Inclusion. Supports various social groups with Indeed. A great mission to help job seekers.

Cons

The pay at Indeed is below market for non-engineering roles, by about 10%, according to Indeed's own industry data and reporting. Indeed's benefits include food - Breakfast and Lunches by an onsite catering firm. I have seen the decline in the quality of offerings, but food is a huge motivator for some jobseekers. I prefer to get paid and choose what and where I dine. The PMO at Indeed is dead. No movement since February of 2019. No guidance or directives, no training or support. The reality is that the "Program" side of Indeed wanted to downsize, and discovered that with the bad (unskilled project managers) the best and brightest also left Indeed. There is a weird vacum of talent and project focus. Programs are vague and Program Manages typically just monitor team work and jira tickets. This is not the place to grow a project management career path. I have hope for change in Indeed's PMO, but I decided not to wait for change, and left. I would happily return to provide value and project management should the environment improve.

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.
