Pros

Pros: I really enjoyed my colleagues, they were all really great people to work along side.(Please note, almost 50% of CS San Mateo has left Indeed within the last 3 months, this turnover should be telling) Many snacks, free food for breakfast and once a week for lunch. Wii U in the office, Mario Kart. Depending on where you are coming from, Indeed can be a great place to build your skill set. If you hone in on certain aspects of the role, you will become much more marketable in the Bay Area after working for Indeed. Convenient location right off of 101 and 92.

Cons

Favoritism is the biggest issue the San Mateo office has. Certain people get more support and resources then others. This is fine sometimes, but everyday it gets old quick. It really depletes from the culture, and when the wrong people are promoted, it looks like this favoritism is actually driving the direction of the company culture. Indeed says its a company interested in feedback from employees, but this is not actually the case. Expect gas lighting, and expect to be a "yes man" and nothing else. Not only will your feedback go unheard, it can often count against you later. General processes are also ill communicated between management and teams. There is almost no advancement within the San Mateo office because there are only two departments that sit there. While Indeed will tell you that it cares about your career and your advancement within the company, I have seen a very small percentage move up internally. I saw far more qualified people rejected for internal roles. Don't get too excited about Unlimited PTO, this is entirely up to your manager. In case if you didn't know San Mateo is also regarded as a satellite office. It has long outgrown the space that its in, and there seems to be no real effort to give more space to the employees there. You can expect very little attention to this office from the organization overall , its a blip on their radar, which is sad because it used to be a top performing office. It would benefit them to put more care into the facility itself, as well as putting more training and departments in the office.

Pros

If there were any (perceived) pros of working for Indeed they quickly were forgotten about after I was stabbed in the back by my very inexperienced TL.

Cons

Backstabbing a go go. Very low retention rate of holding on to good people. No careers at Indeed. Only jobs if you can take the BS and unrealistic workload and targets. They are not so cool to work as they claim to be. Indefinite number of holidays a BIG joke. If you want to take two or three weeks off in a row managers refuses. The whole aim of all those free breakfast, sport drinks, snacks and meals is to keep employee in the office as long as possible.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry you didn't have a great experience working in Finance out of our Dublin office. We do provide meals, snacks and drinks to help our employees focus on their jobs and our mission while they're at work. When employees aren't at work, open holidays (paid time off) are one of our most popular benefits, but your workload does dictate when this can happen. We encourage open conversations with the manager and/or the Human Resources business partner if there's an issue with approvals. If you're open to sharing more information, we'd love the opportunity to hear specific details about the workload and management, to address the problem. Please email inside@indeed.com.

Pros

Fun, young, collaborative environment. Everyone wants to see each other succeed. Management varied greatly. Each has their own style, so its hard to say what the experience will be on an individual basis. Open PTO is sweet. Just hit your number and do what you want.

Cons

Big disconnect between upper management and the ground floor. Big operational changes without much notice.
