Indeed reviews

The worst working experience I've ever encountered. -No work life balance. In the interview, I was told there is awesome work life balance here, and almost no OT here which is totally not the truth. You are expected to work 10-12 hours a day. Though it's not enforced directly, it is implied by team lead and manager. They assigned you the overwhelmed work to do which is even out of your job scope, then told you that you can stop your work at 6pm. But the workload is definitely couldn't be finished before 6pm. Even you sacrifice yourself and work overtime every day, the work will never be completed. Because they keep assigning you the work more and more, and lastly give you the worst and false evaluation even though how hard you worked. -Poor management. Poorest management team, you couldn’t imagine a team can be leaded by these kinds of people: they are emotional, unprofessional, childish, lack of basic working knowledge. They couldn’t accept any different voice, and keep building “yes-man” around them. The leads keep making mistakes but all will become subordinate’s faults, that’s their way. -Office politics. It’s so funny even there is office politics in such a small team, and 2 team leads in the same team. The power-hungry leads use their subordinates as a tool to fight for their promotion. So, subordinates must become victims. -Border bullying culture Harassment behavior from team leaders and managers. Even they have an ethical team or HR department who should take care of this kind of issue, and you reported to them you have mentally exhausted due to endless border bullying, but no one take care of this issue seriously, and no one will care you, anyway you’re replaceable. And the team leader even told you, if you couldn’t endure then quit here.

- blatant favoritism, promotions based on nothing but good connections to leadership and personal friendships. Leads to deeply toxic atmosphere - Incompetent leadership in most teams - the few exceptions really stand out and I kept wondering why they stick around. Leaders are often young and inexperienced, I had the impression that no leadership training was available - Biased, unfair and intransparent performance reviews. Don't count on your bonus, because they will even cite vaguely worded attitude issues to limit your bonus. Basically - if you are successful your goals will be lifted to impossible standards sooner or later. - Lack of strategy. The company seems to be jumping from here to there constantly, I never saw a coherent strategy that gave me confidence that Indeed can be successful even when Google and Facebook enter the market - Bro culture across the board, made worse by perks being more tailored to that audience, not the female or older workforce. Diversity initiatives are in place and driven by great people, but Indeed's biggest diversity issue is an extremely young, male-centric culture, with little room for parents, women, minorities (I found the review further down from a black employee’s perspective very accurate!) - Insane micro management. I've never experienced anything even close to this. Seems to be happening across all departments. Soul-crushing. - No career development, especially outside of Austin and Dublin offices.
