Not human at all.

Pros

Breakfast and new office, this job may be good if you want to start in sales to learn the fundamentals of cold calling but don’t stay more than a year because you could have a burnout.

Cons

You can’t take a break whenever you want. Your manager will make you understand that the way you are working is more important than your results. You have no responsibility, you just cold call 60 to 80 times a day without any go to market strategy. You don’t feel unique within this environment at all. They call it Account Executive role, it’s just an Inside Sales role with no value in term of sales strategy. Talking about pressure, you will be squeeze like a lemon for nothing. The mentality of people on the floor wasn’t welcoming, you can feel that people are stressed.

Pros

Work life is unsurpassed. Unlimited PTO means what it says. Each new office is better than the last. Very good offices. Hexes are way better than a super open office. Helping people get jobs is cool.

Cons

- Lots of gatekeepers telling you “no”. - Others mentioned your projects being blocked on the infrastructure teams. This is not a joke. That org is toxic to any kind of innovation. - Lots of abandonware legacy home brew internal tools that need to go way - Indeed says it’s data driven but doesn’t invest in its data tools. The primary way to gather data is a horrible internal tool that needs to go. - Development is super slow. Easy features can take more than a quarter to get into production despite what the vanity metrics management has put in place say. - leadership uses vanity metrics that developers and QA get evaluated on, which leads to people playing games with JIRA tickets to boost their numbers. - we are filling the ranks with tons of middle managers who need to justify their jobs and think they need to weigh in on every decision. This slows things down. - LTIPs take three years to pay out. A promotion doesn’t pay market rate for three years. You are better leaving the company than waiting for your LTIPS. - leadership makes sweeping organizational changes and doesn’t actually do any leadership like explain how those changes will help. - leadership has no vision. It is all the blind leading the blind.

Thanks for leaving a review of your work experience at our Seattle office and your 5+ years of service at Indeed. We’re disappointed to see this review rated so low, as you mentioned a lot of positives that make Indeed such a great place to work, such as the work/life balance, Open PTO and of course, our unified company mission of helping people get jobs. That said, no company is perfect and there’s always room to improve. With growth comes some growing pains. As we continue to grow, our systems (even some of the legacy ones, as you mention) and procedures will also be adapting to keep up with the change. Indeed is well positioned and laser-focused to ensure our 10,000 employees globally have the most efficient tools, systems and processes to allow us to best deliver on our mission. LTIPs are aptly named for ‘Long Term Incentive Plan’, to reward those who stay at a company. This is similar to how RSUs operate at many publicly traded companies, where their granted shares vest over a 3 or 4 year period. In today’s job market, job hopping is to be expected, but we encourage and pride ourselves on employee development, even if it means that someday our employees move on to another role not with Indeed. If there is any additional feedback you would like to share, please send an email to inside@indeed.com. All emails are kept confidential and only used only for feedback to senior leadership.
