Pros

All the pros were prior to the layoffs and now -- not so much, but to touch on the pros I'd say: Unlimited PTO One Friday a month mandatory off as well Medical, Dental, and Health Benefits

Cons

When it comes to working at Indeed, I’d say I was their biggest advocate — until now. Once 3-4 people at the top decided to resign or move on to other opportunities after being with the company for 14+ years and then the layoffs took place the company was no longer the dream it initially was. The micromanaging corporate America style has settled in. How your quota is determined is not something you will ever know, the system itself not logging accurately which is also how your performance is determined because you're just a number now & with constant changes at the beginning of every quarter and now sometimes even within the quarter itself. It seems as if they truly have no idea how to manage the current market trends and continuously push products that are not only disruptive to their clients, but employees as well. I would say this restructure is not one anyone is pleased with and the salary is not enough for what you’ll have to do on a daily basis. The environment has become chaotic, with no downtime, never clear answers, and unnecessary documentation & a role that was once taking pride in sales has become more focused on making sure administrative work is prioritized versus the sales. A company where we once were treated like humans/people is now only just a number. With quotas becoming unattainable due to the current market they continue to increase and micromanage every aspect of your book of business which in reality isn't leading to more sales, just more stress as the company panics that revenue expectations are not being met, by almost EVERYONE. Rather than listening to the feedback we as employees are providing, along with the feedback our clients are providing -- it's like they're running around like chickens with their heads cut off and you'll get cut along the way. If your workload is already up to your head, dont worry, more will be added. Not only that, rather than closing the offices to save costs since everyone was successfully doing the role and doing it well from home for 3 years, they decided its best to keep the offices open, lay off 2200 people and make those who are current employees come into the office 2x a week on Tuesday & Wednesday. Imagine having to pay rent or pay for a hotel because you have to commute and come into the office twice for a role you've done remotely for 3 years.

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.
