- blatant favoritism, promotions based on nothing but good connections to leadership and personal friendships. Leads to deeply toxic atmosphere
- Incompetent leadership in most teams - the few exceptions really stand out and I kept wondering why they stick around. Leaders are often young and inexperienced, I had the impression that no leadership training was available
- Biased, unfair and intransparent performance reviews. Don't count on your bonus, because they will even cite vaguely worded attitude issues to limit your bonus. Basically - if you are successful your goals will be lifted to impossible standards sooner or later.
- Lack of strategy. The company seems to be jumping from here to there constantly, I never saw a coherent strategy that gave me confidence that Indeed can be successful even when Google and Facebook enter the market
- Bro culture across the board, made worse by perks being more tailored to that audience, not the female or older workforce. Diversity initiatives are in place and driven by great people, but Indeed's biggest diversity issue is an extremely young, male-centric culture, with little room for parents, women, minorities (I found the review further down from a black employee’s perspective very accurate!)
- Insane micro management. I've never experienced anything even close to this. Seems to be happening across all departments. Soul-crushing.
- No career development, especially outside of Austin and Dublin offices.
