Pros

Work life is unsurpassed. Unlimited PTO means what it says. Each new office is better than the last. Very good offices. Hexes are way better than a super open office. Helping people get jobs is cool.

Cons

- Lots of gatekeepers telling you “no”. - Others mentioned your projects being blocked on the infrastructure teams. This is not a joke. That org is toxic to any kind of innovation. - Lots of abandonware legacy home brew internal tools that need to go way - Indeed says it’s data driven but doesn’t invest in its data tools. The primary way to gather data is a horrible internal tool that needs to go. - Development is super slow. Easy features can take more than a quarter to get into production despite what the vanity metrics management has put in place say. - leadership uses vanity metrics that developers and QA get evaluated on, which leads to people playing games with JIRA tickets to boost their numbers. - we are filling the ranks with tons of middle managers who need to justify their jobs and think they need to weigh in on every decision. This slows things down. - LTIPs take three years to pay out. A promotion doesn’t pay market rate for three years. You are better leaving the company than waiting for your LTIPS. - leadership makes sweeping organizational changes and doesn’t actually do any leadership like explain how those changes will help. - leadership has no vision. It is all the blind leading the blind.

Thanks for leaving a review of your work experience at our Seattle office and your 5+ years of service at Indeed. We’re disappointed to see this review rated so low, as you mentioned a lot of positives that make Indeed such a great place to work, such as the work/life balance, Open PTO and of course, our unified company mission of helping people get jobs. That said, no company is perfect and there’s always room to improve. With growth comes some growing pains. As we continue to grow, our systems (even some of the legacy ones, as you mention) and procedures will also be adapting to keep up with the change. Indeed is well positioned and laser-focused to ensure our 10,000 employees globally have the most efficient tools, systems and processes to allow us to best deliver on our mission. LTIPs are aptly named for ‘Long Term Incentive Plan’, to reward those who stay at a company. This is similar to how RSUs operate at many publicly traded companies, where their granted shares vest over a 3 or 4 year period. In today’s job market, job hopping is to be expected, but we encourage and pride ourselves on employee development, even if it means that someday our employees move on to another role not with Indeed. If there is any additional feedback you would like to share, please send an email to inside@indeed.com. All emails are kept confidential and only used only for feedback to senior leadership.

Pros

The food is the only reason I didn’t give 1 star

Cons

Management picks favorites pretty easily. If you’re not a suck up you won’t do well.

Pros

Location in the city close to trains

Cons

Directors have left, right down to account executives Indeed does not care nor value its employees You are number that has to hit a number to survive There are favourites that get what they want and promoted - Senior HR thinks there is nothing wrong with staff leaving or leaving bad reviews Half the team has left this year alone hr doesn't even know people's names!

Thank you for sharing your review. We are sorry you feel your time at Indeed has been less than great. Employee experience and development is a big priority for us, and we want to make sure all our staff receive support and recognition from our leadership and HR teams. We do not encourage favoritism within teams, as we believe every employee should have a fair and equal opportunity to work towards their full potential at Indeed. As we continue to grow and evolve as a company, we want to make sure our employees have opportunities to do the same. There are endless ways for our staff to gain different experiences and take on new challenges within roles, within teams, and within the company. Please reach out to your local leadership/HR team - we would like to find out more about your experience so we can address it immediately, and help you understand where you might be able to get even more support internally. You can also email inside@indeed.com for a confidential conversation if you prefer.
