      Sip The Koolaid To Succeed

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Catered meal, ping pong table, and happy hour here and there. Easy product to sell if you have good leads. If your leads are good and you aren't too lazy you can easily hit your quota. Base salary sucks but if you aim for mid size companies you'll receive a good return on commission.

      Cons

      This is a "Sip The Koolaid" culture. To succeed here just sip the Indeed koolaid, brown nose your manager and pretend to be bestfriends with all of your coworkers. I've heard management use inappropriate language, talk insanely bad about employees who quit or were fired. They would go on linkedin profiles and make fun of previous employees. Some managers are good and others aren't. However, if you catch on quickly and don't need a lot of guidance than the bad managers won't impact you so much. Benefits aren't good. The medical benefits didn't offer much coverage.

      Manipulative and unfair management

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Free lunch, snacks - Good personal time offs - Nice office location in town

      Cons

      - Management doesn't care about your growth, they pretend to do so when it is time for reviews - No action, only words - management will try to convince you they are on your side, believe me they are not - Lots of feedback collected on different levels but almost no action, follow ups on them - Engineering leadership cannot resolve conflicts between product and engineering - Time wasting and inefficient performance evaluation process

      Hi there. We’re disappointed to read that you felt your leadership team has not been able to meet your expectations. As the Engineering Chief of Staff one of my biggest priorities is to make sure the organization constantly reviews and refines our hiring, performance management, and progress-through-level processes. This helps us make sure we are as effective and efficient as possible. We also review market compensation data at least once a year and make appropriate adjustments to stay competitive. We work very hard to create a great environment for our employees, and we’re glad that you enjoy the perks. But it’s not just about the perks. Our goal is to be the best place to work where our employees feel valued, engaged, and productive, and that every team member has the opportunity to make significant impact to Indeed’s mission of helping people get jobs. With all that said, this continues to be a journey for us, and we would like to learn more from you about other areas of opportunities we may be overlooking. Please get in touch with us at inside@indeed.com for a confidential chat, so we can look into this further. Best, Mary Bui-Pham Engineering Chief of Staff, Indeed

      Lavish perks spoiled by mean, angry management

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Unlimited vacation, liberal work from home, plush offices. Indeed presents itself to employees as extremely employee-friendly and devoted to good deeds. There's lots of woke rhetoric about diversity and inclusion, too. The free food at the Austin (Champions building) office is absolutely spectacular, like living in a Las Vegas buffet restaurant. The building is full of lounges, sofas, rec rooms, etc. They even have vending machines that dispense computer accessories for free. The location is terrible, scenic but far from town with no parking for miles and absolutely unreachable by foot, bike, or public transportation.

      Cons

      bullying, hostile managers spoil the entire experience. When I had a problem with a new manager, I found that no one in the entire management chain wanted to let me talk about it. More than one became visibly angry when I tried to tell them anything, or even ask questions. This included Human Resources, whose manager seemed to only want to fight with me and shout me down. Most people will probably never see their worst behavior but at Indeed, HR is not only not your friend--they're your enemy. Indeed has policies on paper that protect employees against arbitrary treatment, but it's ignored in practice. Big talk about advancement when I was recruited was a mirage. Indeed is currently hiring rapidly but seems to prefer to hire new people over the heads of existing employees. Salaries are slightly below market. In-house software: Indeed's operations are dependent on many weird, idiosyncratic home-made software services that are poorly conceived and barely documented. You'll have to learn to deal with these under a management that's far from understanding.

      Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review about your time working in our Austin office. Our HR team are meant to be there to help build bridges between departments and people. As such, we are disappointed to read you felt that you never received that level of support from our team. Furthermore bullying and intimidation are all very serious allegations which we will look into internally. We do not tolerate or encourage such behavior at Indeed, and strongly believe our leaders should never put employees in uncomfortable and disrespected situations. We would like to hear more from you on this so please do reach out to us on inside@indeed.com
