Pros

Better pay than smaller companies. Free lunch in some offices. Fully remote is still an option for tech roles. Decent benefits compared to non-tech firms. MacBook Pros are standard.

Cons

Really an HR company more than a "tech company." Lots of custom solutions and that are behind the times. To a fault, Indeed believes in A/B testing everything vs. building with a broader product vision. They are "data obsessed" so much that they can't see the forest for the trees and spend so much time making sure data is 100% accurate that they don't build anything meaningful. Most product teams own a very small slice of the experience and have limited impact or autonomy. Leadership seems clueless and aren't held accountable for major misses. They eliminated YOUDays. Performance review process changes almost quarterly. Seems like they are trying to layoff people through firing via forced curve and a more arbitrary review process instead of laying people off and paying severance.

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.
