Have you ever dated someone you saw so much potential in, but he repeatedly let you down and broke your heart, and you began to realize there were actually much better guys out there? Working at Indeed is like that.

I joined Indeed, excited about the growth and what the culture appeared to be. Every relationship has that make-it-or-break-it point at 2 years. I should have seen it then when the promises of transparency and "commitment" to diversity and inclusion had yet to be realized, but I toughed it out because I loved Indeed and I wanted help it win. That was dumb.

After spending more of my best years here, more promises have gone to the wind, and when asked about said promises, leadership acts like they don't know what we're talking about, gaslights us, or gives us Trump-like responses (combining random words in a sentence that, together, mean nothing at all).

Moving internally is more streamlined than I've seen at most companies. This is coupled with pretty decent professional development and educational perks to make a successful transition. However, when people move from roles that are typically in a lower salary range to one in a higher salary range, their salaries are rarely adjusted. It seems like a ploy to get cheap labor.

We're an HR company and we can't figure out how to do HR well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Companies are looking to us for answers and we should be able to provide solutions, but HR has every excuse for not innovating internally. Instead, HR talks about "matching" other companies. We should be a thought leader in HR. Other companies should not be teaching us how to do this. Sad.

I've been turning down advances from other companies, with the hope that Indeed would one day get its act together and show appreciation for me and all the other employees who are fighting for it. The perks, Open PTO, WFH, and professional development budget were nice, but other companies are offering me that and can actually communicate. They tell me what my salary range is, don't make excuses for not hiring qualified women and minorities into senior leadership, and actually let go of people who are incompetent and/or make others feel uncomfortable to the point that they don't want to show up to work (read: harassers, sexists, homophobes, racists, and the like). The fact that Indeed can't let go of people who are actually negatively impacting value is very strange to me. Like, you're a business and you're losing money and productivity for these people.

I've sort of enjoyed the time we've spent together. I've heard this from experts over and over again, but I didn't listen. I put my money on potential rather than steps toward action or even a real plan. Never again.

Indeed, I'm breaking up with you.

privacy, benefits,management should be listen to employees idea

Cons

We are a big company now. It feels like it, too. Senior leadership really needs to up their commitment to transparency, diversity, and inclusion. It is starting to feel more like an us-vs-them culture and that scares the tar out of me 😨

Cons

Lower pay, work life balance is hard to maintain in sales

Cons

Indeed used to be a really great company, smart people, singular mission, lack of politics, but the exponential people growth has completely changed everything. The company has been permeated by people on a mission to build their own personal fiefdoms, over growing teams simply to increase their own position and influence. Decision making is dominated by politics, infighting, lack of communication. Numerous products have been rolled out in the last couple years which are blatantly bad ideas. Company is unable to determine their next big product post-Search and is throwing anything and everything at the wall, over staffing bad product ideas and contributing to the quagmire. Senior Leadership Team suffers a severe lack of diversity yet continues to hire white males into senior roles. There needs to be some serious changes at the top, particularly HR and Marketing. It's really a shame, as this used to be a great company to work for, but all the characteristics that made it great have long since disappeared. If you like goofing off all day, colleagues involved in love triangles and all kinds of inappropriate behavior, a frat house culture, and tons of drinking during the work day, this is the place for you.

Cons

Low pay. The company pulled the old bait and switch tactics on we need a degree and yet first day of training suddenly, one is not required. Job opportunities are location dependent on your location as certain offices are just sales and support while others have everything and then some for opportunities.

Cons

Increasing amount of red tape, compensation.

Cons

80 calls a day can be draining at times
