Not inclusive of neurodiversity

Pros

Money, money, money. Second highest salary for tech work in Tokyo next to Google. WFH stipends.

Cons

Politics. The company released a laughable neurodiversity training. NOT inclusive of neurodiversity. Indeed treats it like a disability instead. Posturing is far too important in this very vertical company structure. Expect retaliation for constructive feedback and escalating toxic behavior. Did your engineers come to work at 3pm and miss standup for a month? Well, the eng manager will retaliate if you escalate to their manager. Did your designer just yell at the engineers? Well, don't escalate that to their manager or you'll get retaliated against for that too. Indeed hires children who care more about office perks and happy hours than showing up and doing their jobs. Did you just deliver insane results? Well, keep that up for three review cycles and you'll get a 7% raise. The HR and accounting in Japan is a joke. Accounting will ruin your taxes guaranteed. HR is less useful than talking to a template email. It's Recruit's backoffice so what can you expect from a typical Japanese company?

We appreciate that you’ve taken the time to provide feedback about your experience working in our Tokyo Tech office. We are deeply committed to creating a workplace where Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging is not only valued, but prioritized. So it is difficult to hear that one of our training programs to incorporate neurodiversity was less than satisfactory for you. This training was built by our DI&B experts in partnership with our Access Indeed IRG, with input from our neurodiverse employees, and an external vendor. We do not conflate neurodiversity to disability, and we are sensitive to the fact that many neurodiverse individuals may not identify as having a disability. If you have specific feedback with regards to the training, we would love to hear it so we can continue to refine and improve the experience for our employees. We are disappointed to hear your feedback about unhealthy behaviour that you witnessed and when brought up was addressed poorly. Toxic behaviour is not something we tolerate at Indeed and we appreciate that you’ve highlighted this to us through this platform. We’d like to find out more so we can investigate and address the issues you have highlighted more specifically with the relevant parties, as well as help connect you with the right people who can help effect change. Please allow us a few moments of your time and send an email to inside@indeed.com so we may learn more. We take your feedback seriously and would like an opportunity to speak with you confidentially further to gain more insight.

Pros

Timing IS everything if you got in early you made out like a bandit here with stock options but it’s those same people who sucked this place dry and ruined it for everyone else

Cons

If you enjoy not thinking about why you’re doing something, putting an effort in only to be told you’re effort is worthless than this if the place to be. “Management” is better in current White House administration than at Indeed. People will only have your back if you came up with them in the ranks and even in the end I’ve seen a lot of underhanded moves just so someone could get a new title/a few reports under their belt. To think I actually was excited the day I started as if I was joining something I could get behind/believe in/make a difference at. It was at my first/last volunteering event that my eyes were wide open. Indeed lures people I’m with their culture and their mission “to help people get jobs” yet at the end of the day that veil is very thin - you’re selling ad space. Back when I joined management actually tried to teach the art of selling. Then they slowly converted all of the account managers into the beast they made us loathe - inside sales. A year later we were all screwed - call center USA. Sales is an art and artist can’t be manufactured. Consultative sales is born from relationship building. You can’t build a relationship from logging minutes/dials and tracking busywork for the sake of tracking busywork. What comes from that is false reality. Your reps aren’t hitting quotas because they can’t hit something that’s arbitrary. Your reps that are hitting are the few your managers want to keep around because they like them. They’re their yes men/women - they’re not necessarily good sales reps. You just need a few examples to say “see so&do did it, now why can’t all 200 of you?” You had a model that worked graduating accounts that had matured in spend and size to account managers, then you went and put greed before everything else. Now you’re reaping what you sowed. Maybe your banking that the younger the hire is the less questions they’ll ask. Either way you allowed a few rotten eggs to soil the whole bunch. Perhaps when a rep says I’ve mastered my time in sales (aka I can see the forest for the trees) and I can better serve Indeed in a different capacity you actually give them a fair/equitable chance to apply within and change roles/departments? You’ve already invested in them as an employee, oh wait! thats right because it’s still a popularity contest not a job application.

Thanks for leaving a review of your work experience at our Stamford office. I’m sadden to read that you had a less than positive experience of your time at Indeed, as we strive to make the work experience great for all employees. We’ve heard from a number of Account Executives the last few months on both Glassdoor and Indeed in regards to the work structure and have escalated it to the Sales Leadership team. No company is perfect, and we encourage reviews such as yours to let us know where we can continue to improve as a company. While posting on Glassdoor is one avenue to make your voice heard, we also invite any employee that is facing problems to reach out to your HRBP so they are aware and can provide feedback upwards as well. If you have any additional feedback that you would like to share, we encourage you to send us an email at inside@indeed.com to continue a confidential discussion.

Pros

Free snacks , free coffee ,

Cons

management is deluded, the dire*ctors are simply team leaders tasked with 'motivating' sales teams with unrealistic KPIs and requests. All coming from a senior d*irector who is just cringe , innapropriate and bullys people as a show of strength

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review about working at Indeed in Dublin. Bullying and intimidation are all very serious allegations which we will look into internally. We do not tolerate or encourage such behaviour at Indeed, and strongly believe our leaders should never put employees in uncomfortable and disrespectful situations. Any instances of this brought to the attention of HR or management will be dealt with seriously. We’d encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner in sales so you can have a confidential chat about your feedback in more detail.
