Pros

* For Engineering dept only: No butt-in-chair mentality or micromanaging. If you get your work done and on time, nobody cares when you come in or leave. You are treated like an adult who can manage their own work schedule. * Some really smart folks work here and built the company. You now have access to all this brainpower and knowledge, so you can learn from them. * Friendly, cheerful, open-minded coworkers. Whether your thing is being Austin-y, good coffee, sports, cooking, etc., there are kindred spirits for you here. * Extremely relaxed dress code. You could roller skate to a meeting if you wanted to. * The existence of a maternity leave policy. (This is a new thing.) * Growing list of fringe benefits: spacious open office, daily catered lunches, frequent office happy hours, shuttle service, boat parties, movie nights.

Cons

* Office is in West Austin off 360, far away from downtown/fun stuff. * Salaries are below industry standards, and it is difficult to negotiate for more pay. * No clear path for career advancement in non-managerial positions. * As noted above, management styles and work schedule flexibility vary greatly by manager and department. The Engineering dept gets the most freedom. The others, not so much.

Pros

Solid company, great product, market place dominance, free food, decent base pay

Cons

As a sales person who's worn many hats and sold in this industry as well as others previously, I've seen worse, however I've seen a lot better too. The senior management, has so much on their (his) plate due to a recent buy out, and expected growth. This is a problem, because it's now a cut throat atmosphere in the workplace, and EVERYONE has steep goals to meet. I enjoyed and appreciated my colleagues and immediate report, however this is the most internally competitive role I've ever had. This is a 100% cold prospecting, cold calling role which means you need to find your own leads to call on in order to have work to do that day. If you have leads or not, you still have call numbers to reach. The problem is the opportunities are few and far between, and you are limited to what you can call on. At the same time, you must request leads from your colleagues to keep a pipeline to call on. Attrition is the main problem that needs to be solved. Keep us happy. Sales people can and will move around if the opportunity isn't fulfilling enough, or if there aren't enough tools or resources in place to allow us to succeed. In closing, this was a rough bump in my sales career as I had high hopes for myself there. Again, the company is well grounded, but the sales floor is as cut throat as it gets.

Pros

Indeed is a fast growing international company, recently opening offices in Germany and Australia. 2 Sales reps asked to move to help build the new offices and got an amazing opportunity to work in new countries. ( I am jealous ) I am based in Dublin. Another pro is the first week training is in New York/Stamford. Great for your first week to get an introduction into indeed and meet people.

Cons

It is a work hard play hard environment. Indeed has aggressive growth plans and sales are required to make 60 calls a day. ( its not for everyone ) I enjoy the targets and growth and being part of building this company. It is still a young company which is a + and -. I have great passion for the product which helps me sell and believe in the management team. They also have lots of Sales incentives. Someone just won a trip to Croatia all expenses, I am hoping to win the next one. This is a very fast growing company and if it takes 60 calls a day to hit my target I will make 60!
