Pros

Nice atmosphere onsite Great events all around the year Happy hours on fridays

Cons

Little progression opportunities, most managers got their position because they were there at the right moment, not because they are skilled, they don't know how to elevate the team and the individuals. Talents goes to waste.. No transparency, the whole leadership is being shady, you have no idea what's coming on your head next.. Very few benefits onsite (lunch only once a week, no gym...), compared to other similar company they are probably to worst benefit-wise. Little to No flexibility regarding Work from Home or "unlimited PTO", they are not really unlimited or at least it depends on who your manager Lowest salaries of the whole "New Tech" market

We appreciate the time you have taken to leave us a review about your experiences of working at Indeed. As a current employee at Indeed, it’s really disheartening for us to hear about your negative experiences. We’d like to comment on a few of the things you have mentioned. We’ve grown really quickly in Dublin and it’s important that we strike a balance between offering career development by promoting internally, and also hiring externally to increase the experience level of our people. We actively encourage employees to have ongoing conversations with their managers about their career growth and our internal employee development page offers different career planning toolkits to help guide career conversations and explore future opportunities. We’ve also just launched our internal career pathing tool ‘M.A.D.E. #insideindeed’, which is focused on fostering continuous creative thinking during an Indeedian’s career path so we would urge you to take a look at that. You mention our open PTO (Paid Time Off) which is a benefit for everyone and we want employees to take off as much time on holiday as they need, as long as they are hitting their targets and have manager approval. We take feedback from our employees extremely seriously and would ask that you speak to your local HR Business Partner or email us at inside@indeed.com so we can talk further about your experience.

Whole Company is a Joke

Pros

Work/life balance I guess. I would say nothing at all but there is a 5 word minimum.

Cons

Indeed as a whole is a complete joke. Working for Indeed was the biggest waste of time. There is NO opportunity for growth and MAJOR lack of communication throughout the company. They preach about being #1 and providing the best opportunity for job seekers and companies looking to fill positions but in reality they do not care one bit about helping others. They will take a business's money and without alerting the business they will take down their ads for absolutely no reason and not reimburse that paying business customer...they just hope that the business doesn't notice. Indeed only allows legitimate businesses to post ads through their site and will delete/remove a company from its site if they find out otherwise. Don't get me wrong, this is a great business model and idea theoretically but Indeed does not go about this in the right ways. They do not look into any business they take down in a professional manner and get annoyed if they have to deal with a confused, angry customer wanting answers. Long story short, DO NOT WORK HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY MORALS. They have hugely questionable ethics and no morals whatsoever.

Pros

They do like to promote from within, usually, however it is not the rule. If you're into free snacks and what not, then you'll be quite happy. If you're fresh out of university, this is an excellent job for you with a much higher than usual first job base salary. The sales training is good and will set you on a path to a strong sales career in the future. If you are an experienced rep, stay away, this is not for you.

Cons

First things first - if you're an inside sales rep the odds of making six figures are slim to none. Even the highest achieving reps make nowhere near that. Based on the average base salary of the team ($35k - $45k, depending on your negotiation skills), you would need to achieve almost $2MM in sales per year to reach $100k total compensation. Commission varies, with 5% paid out on the first month of a contract, then dropping to 2% in each subsequent month. If you're able to double a client's spend, it leaps back up to 5% for another month, then back down to 2% and so on. Also, after a client has been on the site for more than one year, you lose all commission going forward, yet remain responsible for their spend against your budget. With most clients billing at 2% commission and the average sale being $3k to $5k per three month contract, you're hard pressed to make that $100k You are responsible for sixty dials a day, that's 6-0 phone calls, every day - no excuses or 150 minutes on the phone. There are no territories and if you fail to close a client within 60 days, any other AE can (and will) steal the account. Example: if you have a client that is willing to come on at X amount, 90 days from now, a competing AE can request the account and close the sale as you failed to do it within 60 days, in spite of having notes suggesting a start date later in the year. The title of "account executive" is also misleading. The inside sales role is, essentially, a call center job. While there are opportunities to advance, there are hard and fast rules on how you can advance.
