Pros

Free food daily: lunch, breakfast, dinner Great colleagues: bright, talented group to work with Great product: really believe in Indeed as a product Engineers seem to have a great time!

Cons

Lack of training: the on-boarding process for my team was not good. There are no training processes in place at all, and it's sink or swim. Lack of work/life balance: it is expected that you work above and beyond 40 hours, which wouldn't be an issue if work/life balance weren't put forward as one of the great things about the job. Be honest about what you expect from your employees. Don't just say what they want to hear to get them to sign on the bottom line. That creates unrealistic expectations on both sides. Bad management: there's a culture of throwing other people under the bus to save your own hide. The turnover is extremely high in some places, so make sure you ask how many people have done your job in the past year before you taken it (this is highly indicative of poor training and management).

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
