Pros
I love Indeed and will cherish my memories there forever. Thank you, Foster City Indeed for being the launch-pad to my sales career. I met some of the best friends I'll ever have; several of them will be close to me until In die. One of them is my spouse! Best WLB in the game. "Do not work after hours if you're hourly" haha loved that. Miss it now. Great comp when you're hitting or near goal. I was clearing $185,000 with ease Great colleagues, good CEO, good products Indeed innovates always, this is great. There are always more products to sell and ways to capture an audience.
Cons
1.) Limited growth. I stagnated often. Going remote during covid was what helped me launch more as a salesperson, just by getting out of the office. 2.) The layoffs this year - Why, Indeed? You know the cost to hire as well as the value of each human there. Why did you so recklessly over-hire? I get it, you're beholden to execs in Japan however these layoffs should never have happened. 3.) Team Lead role in sales - it's inefficient. Hire leaders and hire salespeople. Team-leading is a poor choice. PAY salespeople to train new hires and spiff them for deals they help bring in. 4.) Offer tenured salespeople more flexibility. I was a star performer in your org and saw myself as a leader there one day. You lost me because I now live too far to commute weekly to the office. Yes, two days is realistic given the new world we're in, kudos. However I had more to give and this was largely my reason for leaving, 5.) Adopting new products is excellent but cannibalizing existing business to push a new model is a nightmare. If a client likes CPC, why force them to use CPA? I understand that they will not always know what is best but sometimes, they know what they want. Give them options, don't push them into a corner.
