Indeed reviews

Zero lead generation. You will find all of your own leads. Structure of sales teams changed, became impossible to find leads, but quotas got higher, commission and bonuses were unreachable for many reps. Company started offering other services, which were sold by different teams, and the different teams called on the same opportunities, often causing competition for a sale. Being micromanaged is a part of the life (how many calls, how many minutes those calls were, what times you should be making calls, how many emails, ratio of calls to demos). 60 call per day minimum regardless of what you have scheduled for the day. Managers send emails in all capital letters when the team doesn't hit goals. Recently completely changed the compensation structure. Took monthly commission out and replaced it with quarterly performance bonus. Stamford office isn't very diverse, they hire alot from a particular college in Connecticut that leads to a lot of bro-culture. Unlimited paid time off sounds cool but you'll hear "not good to take time off in the beginning/middle/end of the quarter".

As a sales person it is extremely hard to do your job without an appropriate lead generation system in place. Your measured on whether you can make 60 dials in a day, rather than the actual content of your work. Since Indeed works with no contracts; there are accounts that spent with me for months that I was never paid commissions on because the client decided not to pay their bill - so I got burnt despite closing and nurturing these deal(s) for several months. 80% of the directors have egos the size of Texas and will remind you of this every-day/minute/second of the day while micromanaging everything you do. If you show up to work a minute late be prepared to be repremanded and scolded about it. I once tried to leave at 5:59 (one minute early) and my director coldly stared at me and said where are you going? I replied; going home and he told me the day doesn't end till 6:00 and proceeded to tell the rest of my team that he just "big timed" me, while laughing. It is also customary for directors to call out specific teammates in front of the entire team; this is there way to "motivate" us. I also witnessed a director pulling up a former employees picture on LinkedIn and proceed to belittle and make fun of this person because of what he looked like; he also made sure to call the entire team over so they could laugh as well, even though most of them looked visible uncomfortable with the situation. There is ZERO HR presence whatsoever, you can get away with everything and anything. There are nasty rumors spread about people everyday. And a lot of the AE's will drink at the local bars during lunchtime and I'm not talking about one beer; but rather more like 3-shots of whiskey and 2-vodka seltzers, then proceed to go back to work without anyone questioning them. This may sound extreme, but it is very much the truth. The CRM is horrible and malfunctions at least 4-5 times a day, the phone systems are equally as horrible - when they would make us go on 1-hour company wide call blocks it would take 5-7 times calling a particular number in order for that call to go through because Indeed's current bandwidth cannot support so many calls at one time; thus really taking away from the call block. ZERO diversity in this company, if you are over 24-years old, your viewed as "old", I see women constantly getting sexually harassed as well and in front of their directors. Why do you think Indeed has such a large hiring initiative now? Because for as big as they are growing; they are still losing a lot of talented people who are leaving for better and more professional jobs since there is nothing in terms of career paths - they promote you to "Senior" AE, but your still performing the same job functions as you would as an AE.
