Pros

I have worked at Indeed as a recruiter for 3 years and honestly do not have a bad word to say about the company. I feel like I truly to get to work the mission of 'I help people get jobs' in my everyday life at work no matter what I am tasked with. I can honestly say the work/life balance is incredible, my colleagues and stakeholders are some of the brightest and innovative people that I've ever met. I've been introduced to opportunities that no other company would provide. I hope to stay with Indeed for a long time and look forward to seeing our future (it looks super Bright by the way!)

Cons

I look forward to the domain offices opening!

Pros

Unlimited vacation, liberal work from home, plush offices. Indeed presents itself to employees as extremely employee-friendly and devoted to good deeds. There's lots of woke rhetoric about diversity and inclusion, too. The free food at the Austin (Champions building) office is absolutely spectacular, like living in a Las Vegas buffet restaurant. The building is full of lounges, sofas, rec rooms, etc. They even have vending machines that dispense computer accessories for free. The location is terrible, scenic but far from town with no parking for miles and absolutely unreachable by foot, bike, or public transportation.

Cons

bullying, hostile managers spoil the entire experience. When I had a problem with a new manager, I found that no one in the entire management chain wanted to let me talk about it. More than one became visibly angry when I tried to tell them anything, or even ask questions. This included Human Resources, whose manager seemed to only want to fight with me and shout me down. Most people will probably never see their worst behavior but at Indeed, HR is not only not your friend--they're your enemy. Indeed has policies on paper that protect employees against arbitrary treatment, but it's ignored in practice. Big talk about advancement when I was recruited was a mirage. Indeed is currently hiring rapidly but seems to prefer to hire new people over the heads of existing employees. Salaries are slightly below market. In-house software: Indeed's operations are dependent on many weird, idiosyncratic home-made software services that are poorly conceived and barely documented. You'll have to learn to deal with these under a management that's far from understanding.

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review about your time working in our Austin office. Our HR team are meant to be there to help build bridges between departments and people. As such, we are disappointed to read you felt that you never received that level of support from our team. Furthermore bullying and intimidation are all very serious allegations which we will look into internally. We do not tolerate or encourage such behavior at Indeed, and strongly believe our leaders should never put employees in uncomfortable and disrespected situations. We would like to hear more from you on this so please do reach out to us on inside@indeed.com

Pros

In my role I work from home which is great! They send us quarterly packages with snacks and money for more snacks!! They have incredible family planning benefits including reimbursements for adoption and they cover IVF!! The management is always in your court and give you the opportunity to grow. Work hard and you will see the benefits!

Cons

We are rolling out Salesforce worldwide and right now we spend a lot of time navigating the different systems.
