Consistent Layoffs

Pros

Family leave, flexible PTO, overall kind employees

Cons

In each of the last three years, there have been significant layoffs followed by large reorganizations. There is minimal room for advancement given the bureaucracy of the organization, and as soon as you gain momentum, there are these huge yearly re-orgs and you have to start from square one. Long time employees consistently comment on the change in the business from when it started to now, with these consistent yearly disruptive re-orgs.

3 layoffs over the past 3 years

Pros

All my coworkers were great

Cons

Indeed has done a large layoff every year for the past 3 years. Indeed is still very profitable but only cares about investors. Everyone expects annual layoffs now and teams do not feel motivated.

Pros

Great benefits and work life balance

Cons

For an HR oriented company, Indeed allows bullying and discrimination. They also use the PIP layoff strategy. This means they instruct managers to put a certain % of the employees on a personal improvement plan (PIP) in the hopes that many of the employees put on a PIP will quit, reducing the number of people they will have to layoff with decent severance packages. Shameless management strategy by a company that ought to do better. Don’t look at Indeed as a place you can build a career on. My advice is to use them as a 12-24 month stepping stone on your way to a better company then Indeed.
