Indeed reviews

I encourage all potential employees of Indeed to read every review on Glassdoor. It will save you a ton of turmoil and trials. I applied to the Account Executive position and within 12 hours I got a call from the recruiter. I asked simply questions about working conditions and the role. I was told that turnover is low and people stay with the company at least 2+ years. Also, I was told that you will hit 80k-120k your first year. This is not possible and more then half of the company can't hit their quota. According to the reviews, Indeed is quickly becoming one of the worst places to work in the Silicon Valley. I have even heard the recruiters joke about how easy it is to bring people onboard and the speed in which they leave. It is almost like a game to them. Please remember one main thing. Indeed has to sale itself to its potential employees...because the truth won't sell itself. The recruiters main intention is to sale you Indeed, so be careful...half of what they say is completely false. Turnover: After a few months, my entire training group has either been fired or left for better work...I am the only survivor and hopefully one of the companies I am speaking with picks me up soon. I have never witnessed a higher turnover for any company in my life and I have worked at some horrible places. Please...I beg of you...do not become a employee of Indeed...you will regret it, especially after you are fired for not hitting quota and unemployed. If you have a family, married or have someone to support...do not under any circumstances take a position with Indeed. It is not the place to maintain of grow a career. Management: Completely unprofessional. They like to start meetings by saying " What's up Mother F***kers? Really??? They also go around trying to figure out who posted the most recent negative review on Glassdoor. Very immature attitude, little direction and little management experience. Sales: Indeed does not provide any sales support for their salesman. No lead generation- You find companies to call. Sounds easy right? Try finding a reasonable prospect when numerous other sales reps have called them before you. 999 out of every 1000 companies is not taken, and the ones that are not taken are usually poor at best. Joke of a sales floor, I constantly look around and ask myself how did I let myself get in this situation? It's horrible...

Poor management, little support, poor pay, high turnover. Indeed likes to tout themselves as equals to the other desirable companies out there, when they come nowhere near the same caliber as the big dogs in the industry (like Google or Facebook). There are some very smart people at Indeed, but they have an elitist attitude that is not necessary or warranted. They don't listen to employees when ideas are presented or suggestions are made to improve things. I have felt many in management are flat out rude and unprofessional in the way they communicate with others (or the fact that they don't follow up or communicate). The recruiters I worked with talked a big game, but it was very deceptive. People are brought in with a lot of potential and talent, only to be thrown to the wind and ignored. I have been routinely disappointed in seeing talented people walk out the door, almost at a constant rate. The turnover is horrid. And while the benefits are good, the pay is not competitive at all.
