A great place to work ... but bureaucracy is starting to creep in

Pros

Indeed grew massively over the course of 2016 and essentially has complete market share over the job search market. It's a stable company in a stable industry with a solid, laid back culture and an energetic, youthful workforce.

Cons

The company is growing too quickly and, with the massive scaling, a lot of bureaucracy is creeping in. Some of the startup "perks" are there ... but the startup "feel" no longer is. This is a place where you can work comfortably and without stress; however, it's no longer a place that encourages active experimentation. It's stable, in both the best and worst use of the word.

Pros

Free lunch on Wednesdays and breakfast on Friday. 401k Matching. Great benefits. Great colleagues. Stamford is a fun city. Indeed is a decent place to start a sales career. You will be expected to be at your desk from 9-6 M-F making 60 cold calls a day. Regardless of attainment to quota or how many deals you closed that day or week, you will need to hit 60 calls. No exceptions. For someone starting a career in sales, Indeed will push you headfirst into the world of cold calling and provide you with a very structured day to day. THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

Cons

All promotions in the sales department are a result of tenure and not qualification. This leads to micromanagement coming from the top down. For someone entering the company who is not an entry level account executive, this can be overwhelming. Although the micromanagement is very obvious it doesn't lead to as many people leaving as you would think because entry level AE's don't know any better.

Pros

Indeed is a great company to work for. They have a great mission, and for the most part, a really great culture. There is a "no office policy", meaning that directors, managers, and executives are sitting right there with everyone else, allowing for ease of communication and high transparency.

Cons

While culture is great company-wide, the sales side ends up as more of a boys club...very much a fraternity or sports club atmosphere. The sr. director's and many employees attitudes towards you (professionally and socially) are completely dependent on performance. Great when you are doing well, not great when you're in a rough patch. Indeed also preaches of inclusion and employee retention, but that really applies to everything but sales positions. There is no horizontal movement for those who seek an opportunity outside of sales, and upward mobility is reserved only for those at the very top.
