Indeed reviews

While culture is great company-wide, the sales side ends up as more of a boys club...very much a fraternity or sports club atmosphere. The sr. director's and many employees attitudes towards you (professionally and socially) are completely dependent on performance. Great when you are doing well, not great when you're in a rough patch. Indeed also preaches of inclusion and employee retention, but that really applies to everything but sales positions. There is no horizontal movement for those who seek an opportunity outside of sales, and upward mobility is reserved only for those at the very top.

Where to start? When first starting you might think you have reached the Mecca of Corporate. Everyone seems so relaxed and laid back, the culture is relatively young, and there seems to be a sprightly "start-up" mentality. Give it a month and it all goes downhill from there. Management is horrible. Basically, the people who are managers at Indeed are the people who were with the company the longest. A lot of these "managers' have no real management training whatsoever and get away with murder. Be prepared for your goals to be unrealistic and for leadership to play favorites when you struggle. Should you have a hard time meeting a goal you will be told to "work harder" and then left to make it on your own. If you think while reading this and other reviews that these must be coming from disgruntled employees who have just had a bad experience, I URGE YOU TO THINK AGAIN. The recruiters are lying to you, I promise. Yes, you can make a lot of money in sales in your first six months to a year. But what they don't tell you is that the average tenure of an Account Executive is 6-8 months. There are no leads and everyone is kicking themselves in the butt for taking this awful, awful job. They should make the recruiters work in the sales pit because they are the ones who are doing the real selling to get people in. In summation, the company IS great. It's making money and growing and still hiring in this economy; all pluses. But its lead by horribly egocentric managers who could care less about their employees and more about keeping up their corporate image than investing in their people. Don't believe what the recruiters (who are really just glorified sales people. Ask them about the quota they have to hit for hires in a given quarter) have to say about working here. If they call you, RUN.
