Great Company to Work For - But There's Work to Do!
Pros
All in all, Indeed has been an amazing place to work over the past few years! I've learned so much, and work with passionate colleagues who are now many of my close friends, all with a common goal of 'I Help People Get Jobs.' Sales is a busy job, but Indeed definitely incentivizes their AEs to work hard and go green. We have a happy and committed salesforce and support teams. Pros: - Open PTO - Great work/life balance; if you work til 5pm, you are done at 5pm (at least if you are a non-exempt employee) - Successful, fast-growing company (grows consistently every quarter & year); job stability ties along with this. - Parental Leave (16 Wks Primary Caregiver; 4 Wks Secondary) - Great Product (Sponsored Jobs) that work, and clients love - Breakfast in AM, Lunch on Wednesdays - Gym at the office, and barre/yoga classes - Good compensation; great health/dental benefits - Fun, young, fast-paced work environment
Cons
As Indeed grows, the start-up culture and family feel is starting to dwindle slightly. We are becoming metrics obsessed, and Sales and Client Services always feel the pressure to hit numbers, rather than truly strategize and service our clients. In Sales, they micromanage the AEs, and gradually are removing flexibility (WFH is frowned upon, some Directors don't allow much PTO.) We're starting to lose sight of our mission, and risk losing top, tenured employees. It is also more challenging than advertised to move internally for promotions. Also, it is very upsetting to read here that people (esp. women) of color feel marginalized. Indeed prioritizes inclusion, but there needs to be more men & women (of all backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientation) in the C-Suite and in Leadership to shift the male-driven environment and inspire women to thrive and succeed.
