Pros

401K Health Benefits Free Food, All the junk food you can imagine...you will gain a few pounds at Indeed

Cons

I encourage all potential employees of Indeed to read every review on Glassdoor. It will save you a ton of turmoil and trials. I applied to the Account Executive position and within 12 hours I got a call from the recruiter. I asked simply questions about working conditions and the role. I was told that turnover is low and people stay with the company at least 2+ years. Also, I was told that you will hit 80k-120k your first year. This is not possible and more then half of the company can't hit their quota. According to the reviews, Indeed is quickly becoming one of the worst places to work in the Silicon Valley. I have even heard the recruiters joke about how easy it is to bring people onboard and the speed in which they leave. It is almost like a game to them. Please remember one main thing. Indeed has to sale itself to its potential employees...because the truth won't sell itself. The recruiters main intention is to sale you Indeed, so be careful...half of what they say is completely false. Turnover: After a few months, my entire training group has either been fired or left for better work...I am the only survivor and hopefully one of the companies I am speaking with picks me up soon. I have never witnessed a higher turnover for any company in my life and I have worked at some horrible places. Please...I beg of you...do not become a employee of Indeed...you will regret it, especially after you are fired for not hitting quota and unemployed. If you have a family, married or have someone to support...do not under any circumstances take a position with Indeed. It is not the place to maintain of grow a career. Management: Completely unprofessional. They like to start meetings by saying " What's up Mother F***kers? Really??? They also go around trying to figure out who posted the most recent negative review on Glassdoor. Very immature attitude, little direction and little management experience. Sales: Indeed does not provide any sales support for their salesman. No lead generation- You find companies to call. Sounds easy right? Try finding a reasonable prospect when numerous other sales reps have called them before you. 999 out of every 1000 companies is not taken, and the ones that are not taken are usually poor at best. Joke of a sales floor, I constantly look around and ask myself how did I let myself get in this situation? It's horrible...

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.
