Pros

Benefits are great however they are just a ploy to lure good sales talent in the door. Barely anyone availed of the "unlimited PTO" as sales targets were ridiculously high and there was huge pressure to achieve them each quarter.

Cons

Call centre environment. A minimum of 40-50 cold calls per day. Micromanagement. Glorified call centre Cult like feel to the culture. Everyone is given Indeed merchandise to wear, there is constant updates on social media of this perceived "fun" life inside indeed, however the true reality, in my experience, was that most people on the sales floor were really unhappy due to the pressure and stress of the role.

Pros

Free food on both Wednesday and on Friday. Pay is decent especially for incoming A.E's Free beer and drinks on a Friday

Cons

Severe micro management at the Dublin office. Management are very inexperienced at a director level and will interfere constantly so as to be seen to be doing something. Promotions are marketed to employees as an opportunity to progress but really they are worthless. Indeed are very effective at advertising their workplace as one of the best in Dublin. The reality is disconcertingly unpleasant.

Pros

- (Most of) the people - The perks (snacks, food, sponsored intramural sports, happy hours, holiday parties, etc.) - The feel of a "fast paced tech environment" - Good Training & Development (T&D) program Overall it was a good work experience learning the recruitment advertising industry. Indeed and competitors have played a major role in shifting the old-school mentality of Human Resources and Corporate Recruiting. It was exciting to be a part of it, and experience the beginning of their now massive corporate growth. Indeed was fast paced and fun, with a young environment and tons of perks. You're able to bond with your co-workers, both inside and outside of work, and forge great relationships.

Cons

- The Management Team - Favoritism on Promotions / Politics - Simplicity of product leads to feeling inept The product is (for the most part) a "one trick pony". Once you have attained a certain Indeed skill-set and working knowledge, it leaves you wondering "What's next?" To add to that, the management team of Past, Present (overheard from co-workers I know are still at Indeed), and (likely) in the Future is very much your typical high school clique. 1:1's were filled with drama and gossip; management making false promises on growth and promotions or career trajectory; or taking ideas and using them to their own benefit. At the time I was there, the company went through a major overhaul, and the entire Small Business (SMB) tier went through a re-brand, which I believe was necessary for the better of the business, but it lead to many peculiar and strange promotions. This led many to believe there was strong favoritism among the masses. That's not even mentioning how some of the management team behaved in social settings. I witnessed management swipe serious employee injuries (influenced by corporate funded Happy Hours) under the rug. I had seen senior leaders engage in altercations with bar patrons at the local bars (which by the way are flooded with Indeed people every night of the week) -- these two occasions among many others.
