Pros

good pay, easy sell as most customers are used to the brand and the site commands very high traffic

Cons

lack of innovation, middle management in engineering and search quality is killing the company by making arbitrary decisions that hurt our customers, our relationships (partners) and is starting to get us into trouble because some practices are not compliant with labor department regulations or are anticompetitive in nature. Rest of the company is actually great to work with and for but I am worried about the future and the lack of clear leadership after founder departure

Pros

Pay, RSUs, WLB, People, Culture

Cons

I joined during a hyper-growth phase and unfortunately all these phases has done is water down the culture and introduce bad practices. What was once an agile, fast moving company has turned into a behemoth without much direction. The influx of additional people during 2018, 2021 have brought their bad practices from other organizations and without strong leadership at Indeed, has given these people free reign to run amok inside of indeed. Inflating their own titles and perform kingdom building. Indeed culture was TOO nice and SLT wouldn't put their foot down and address the problem. Instead they gave toxic people blank checks to go on hiring sprees, duplicating efforts and teams in the process. Some parts of the company are extremely slow moving. I'm talking 1+ month to add a button to a UI. It's laughable it takes that long but I'm not joking. Indeed had a competitive edge at one point, they squandered that lead and now other startups are coming to eat their lunch. I give Indeed 5-10 before they go the way of Monster.com

Pros

- Unlimited PTO. - Flexible schedule. - Work from home, with some departments. - 401k matching. - Good Insurance. - A great introduction to get your foot in the tech realm.

Cons

- No growth. - Internal mobility is a nightmare. - Salary. - A lot of issues in regards to the product, that we are on the front lines defending. - Metrics change entirely each quarter. - The title "Dedicated Client Success Specialist" is not transferrable to the industry, it should be Client Success Manager.

Thanks for leaving a review of your current work experience at Indeed and to your over 5 years of service. We’ve only been able to grow to where we are today thanks to Indeedians such as yourself. As you mentioned, we have a lot of positives working at Indeed, including Open PTO, a flexible work schedule, matching 401k and good insurance, all designed to reflect the needs in today’s work environment. Our salary ranges are reviewed no less than annually to ensure competiveness with our local workforce markets. Additionally, once you factor in quarterly bonuses, long term incentives and perks and benefits the company provides, the total compensation is tailored to ensure competitiveness in a local market. For career development, we offer a generous L&D budget for all full-time employees, while also providing courses to further career growth; we encourage you to review the course catalog on the intranet. Glassdoor allows employees to provide reviews once a year, so I do hope that you submit another review in November this year to see if we have improved, or where we still have areas to work on.
