Pros

Working at Indeed is truly a great experience with a wealth of knowledge to be learned. Indeed is willing to invest the time into you in order to see you succeed. Sales goals are attainable however in the growth org it's difficult to grow a book as large as Indeed believes you should. Office snacks and drinks breakfast every day and lunch once a week.

Cons

Indeed is run as an organization that grew too fast and now management goes by ridiculous metrics to measure their staff instead of what really matters. Ex. Person on a sales team can spend all day talking to clients about things other than closing business and selling and gets celebrated for the amount of time on the phone as opposed to the context of what was being discussed. Whereas someone else can close business in a short amount of time and it gets glossed over because it didn't take an hour and a half to close business. - Indeed comes up with sales goals for its team without an understanding of what a book of business can actually do and you get yelled at for an account that stops spending although Indeed is non contractual and a 100K spender can choose not to spend the next day. - Sales teams are measured by number of calls made in a day and anywhere from 60-80 calls are expected and then the same sales teams are asked to do a ton of other work. - Indeed is lying to itself if it thinks this level of management is sustainable. - It feels like Indeed's culture has shifted from a fun energetic and for lack of a better word real place to being a factory workforce with robots to drill out phone calls and pray to God their quota doesn't get blown out of the water.

Pros

Indeed truly believes in work / life balance. During your interview, get your manager's take on working from home, as every manager has the autonomy to operate differently. The pay is great and it has all of the benefits of a tech company (ie. tons of free food, big events with open bar and catering, very inclusive culture, flexible schedule, no dress code, couches/ rocking chairs/ standing desk, gyms, work out classes, etc) The health insurane is fantastic. My husband is a veteran and works for DOD and still uses our benefits. They cover things like fertility treatments- 3 rounds of IUI & 2 rounds of IVF They have 6 wks paid paternity leave & 4 months paid maternity leave They have events for the family They give you tooooons of free swag Open PTO Follow #insideindeed for a lot of insider pics of our events

Cons

The managers have complete autonomy- which is great, if you have a good manager. It is important to get to know the manager as much as possible during the interview and find out their style. Most managers are completely lax on work from home/ flexible schedules/ time off, etc. There are some that are a bit more micromanagers. Also, some products are managed extremely different than the bulk of indeed. It's important to talk to those who are in the role and really find out what they enjoy and ask the questions about work from home policies, etc.
