Great early career company

Pros

Culture, perks, team members, creativity, free food, office ambiance. Great place for early in one’s career but challenging, from a compensation perspective, for mid career and later unless managing a tea.

Cons

Perk heavy leading to slightly lower compensation compared to other tech companies of similar size.

Pros

Unlimited PTO, free meals, cool office aesthetics, smart colleagues, some friendly people to work with.

Cons

When I first started, Indeed had more of a laid back "startup" feel. That started to fade away when it grew tremendously in 2016, 2017, 2018, etc. Indeed has a "no jerks" policy, but that didn't seem to be applied as much as the years went on. Top talent people from the West and East Coast were brought in for brainpower, but with that often came huge egos and underdeveloped emotional intelligence/social skills. Entitled "geniuses" started roaming around the office. Pay was also quite low for my department. Some departments might of been different, but they claimed all of the cushy techy perks were justification for below average pay. This was in Austin when the housing/rent prices began skyrocketing as an influx of transplants kept rolling in. Management was pretty incompetent in my department. Lots of favoritism and college cliquey vibes that got unqualified people promoted if they were within that clique. There was a lot of pressure to hang out at the office as much as possible. It was a good gig for recent grads, but a lot of people had their entire lives and identifies embedded in the Indeedian work culture. If you didn't want to partake in all of that, it was a bit to your disadvantage. Depending o

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and your years of service to Indeed. We’re happy to see that you recommend us as a great place to work. It is also our priority to make sure we are listening and acting on the concerns and suggestions of our staff, as they are the ones who help build us up as a company, and are our biggest and most valuable assets. We care deeply about our employee experience and want everyone to feel like they belong and are valued for the work they do at Indeed. Our managers are held accountable in our business to their leadership roles and we continuously monitor that through engagement surveys and manager performance reviews. These conversations also help us identify team members who deserve recognition for the work they’re doing, and those who might need a bit more support to get to where they want to be. We strongly encourage employees to have 1:1 skip-level manager check-ins if facing problems, as well as reaching out to their HRBP so they are aware and can provide feedback upwards as well. If you would like to share more via a confidential chat, please email our team at inside@indeed.com.

Pros

Open PTO and okay salary. Before the lockdown we had a good office.

Cons

Questionable management. Almost no visible innovation. Business growing by numbers, but not much exciting is happening therefore it's very hard to find a good spot where you don't need to simulate impact but actually do it and grow professionally. Because of the above, performance evaluation is not great at all.
