Pros
1. Simple product (I mean that as a huge compliment) that capitalised on an emerging trend in a woefully inefficient industry. 2. Smart execs leading the company. 3. Great focus on solving for the job seeker.
Cons
My experience at Indeed truly was a tale of two managers. The first one had a clear vision and goals for the team, was emphatetic, a good communicator and valued autonomy. Unsurprisingly, they got promoted, and someone who was technically good at their job, but a poor leader was appointed to replace them. Classic case of being promoted to your level of incompetence. The second manager unfortunately was a poor leader, mistrusting and micromanaged, which created a bad atmosphere within the team. Retention soon became an issue - many new hires to this team left within weeks, I hung in for a few more months, and I gather, by the end of the year, the remaining team members had departed.
