Pros

Great product to sell, #1 in the recruitment industry right next to LinkedIn. Can easily make 100K AFTER your first year. Renewals and reoccurring accounts make easy repeat $'s every month.

Cons

Completely saturated market. You pick up leads that were touched at least 10x before you. Business rules otherwise known as biz rule, cause a hostage environment within the office. I understand competition but whenever new people are hired (which is often) they are taught tricks by managers who were stud AE's to go out and basically poach your good leads. CRM. It's so bad. Homegrown, nothing is automated. A lot of manual searching for prospects. You won't ever be given warm leads here. No room for career growth at all. None. Zip. You're either a "forever AE", or the lucky 1 of 150~ employees to stay longer than 2 years that gets promoted to a director position. Most get fired or leave for higher pay else where. They don't promote to national sales because they want someone with a fortune 1000 rolodex to take over. Completely east coast biased. San Mateo office is known as the red headed step child, seriously. Main headquarters is in Connecticut where it's obviously not as competitive as Silicon Valley. Yet they're so baffled about why employees continue to leave them when 1. they don't give raises and 2. other companies offer way higher bases. Promote directors who have NO management/leadership experience what so ever. We get it they might of been great at closing sales, but there's a HUGE line that needs to be drawn for showing leadership capabilities.

Pros

Descent sales training. Ok product. Smart, funny, and caring co-workers. Good stepping stone for a good company like linkedin.

Cons

You're a one man/woman army- Prepare to find your own leads (approximately 1.5hr /1 lead), manage your leads or they get taken (business rule), cc to schedule appointments (60 dials/day min.), prepare for presentations, present, prepare proposals, follow up, contact your current clients, manage all your current clients, manage check their page placement, maintain cpc, track spending for all clients, help with their ats, and manage their tech issues. Never ending cold calling Minimal support Poor compensation Promotion is a rarity Backwards sales structure Complicated CRM No job security Revolving door Lack of synergy with other departments Extremely low employee retention Do yourself a favor and apply somewhere else.

Pros

The people in the office were wonderful. I enjoyed coming to work because of this. They are making improvements in training and new hire on-boarding compared to when I first joined.

Cons

I was hired under the impression that the career path was defined as "give us a good year and we'll make sure you're not stuck in an Account Executive role much longer". With Indeed's growth, they have been able to hire very experienced professionals outside of the organization. With the high turnover, the need for new managers is null. Do not expect to grow your career here if you are in sales, no matter what they tell you in the interview process (read the other reviews). If you're looking at this company at one of the East Coast offices, it may be a good place to gain some sales experience. If you are interviewing to work in the Bay Area office, there are far more promising opportunities at other companies in the region. The turnover in this particular office is at an all time, and quite frankly, terrifying high. The pay is considerably lower than other companies in this area.
