Pros

It is one of the funniest places ever to work. The whole thing is like a sitcom. I was constantly laughing as I sat in meeting after meeting about some obscure initiative that had nothing to do with the core business, ran by someone in Carhartt overalls and a clown hat. It is the most unserious company to ever exist, I wish it was a show.

Cons

Complete and total chaos, inmates running the asylum. Received a negative performance review for a job title I did not possess. Let me repeat that for dramatic effect: I received a negative review for a job title I officially did not possess. Only at Indeed is this even possible. Total anarchy. Entire organizations piled into one another with no clear purpose. People floating around without managers. Managers floating around without employees. Managers who have their child on every single call. Managers floating around without employees, who have their child on every single call. If you are considering joining Indeed, you are 10 years too late. Run.

Pros

Indeed is a very employee-centric company, making it wonderful to be employed there. I worked at Indeed for 4 years until I was laid off in 2023 with 15% of the employee base globally. As a PMO professional, there are a huge number of opportunities to lead complex, global initiatives with strategic value. RSU grants, "You Days" and open PTO are all real pros of working here. Also a huge pro is Indeed's position on DEIB and "bringing your whole self to work" - they really walk that talk. I've never felt so included and able to be myself (queer female w/a disability) as at Indeed.

Cons

Unfortunately, Indeed has a lot trouble getting work "over the line." Planning lasts FOREVER and is not effective. Leadership says they prioritize velocity and think planning is largely unnecessary, but they don't understand iterative planning and waste time in the wrong types of planning with the wrong personnel. At least 1 C-level exec dislikes PMO but PMO roles up to her (and she's hired a PMO Director who has no PMO experience). Moreover, leadership gets in the way of competent people doing their jobs. Indeed hires experienced professionals and then put them in a corner to collect dust. Co-workers and I were reprimanded for being overly "results focused" and trying to do our jobs in ways that weren't the "Indeed" way." It's sad to see - if you hire rock stars, let them lead and let them do what they do best.
