Cons

Indeed are losing valuable employees due to their upper managements poor decisions and lack of management skills. Indeed is a great place to work if you don't work within Sales, they set unrealistic targets and regardless of whether or not you are always giving your 110% best they diminish your confidence by saying your not good enough. I have never felt so depressed waking up for work in the morning and knowing I work at a company who doesn't give a crap about how much effort you put in as an individual. You have no sense of job security here unless you are smashing your unrealistic which even the best reps could not hit. The commissions are nothing put a few penny's here and there - I made much more at my previous job and I was on a much lower wage base. Forget the unlimited annual leave if you are in sales, managers recommend not taking a holiday for more then 2-3 weeks otherwise you will fall behind on making your unrealistic target and again diminish you. The way they approach you in your one to one meetings is disgusting, and when your approach HR about the situation they give you a bias opinion because they are friends with the manager and give you little to no advice about how to tell with the situation instead they make things worse and tell you that maybe your aren't good enough. So much for being a supportive company! Management are so focused on unrealistic things that they forget to actually care about their employees, this is probably why they have a big turnover rate and need to hire fresh new graduates because they are loosing valuable employees. Let's me just say working at Indeed was the worst decision I have made, the only thing I miss is the team and how great the culture was with them!

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.
