Pros

Competitive Salary. Great office location (It's inside Google campus)

Cons

They acquired Mobolt Inc (Hyderabad), shutting down it's complete operation and indirectly asking all the old employees to look for other jobs somewhere else. A big question is why did you acquire an Indian startup when you didn't believe on their product and technology. Was it a mistake to acquire MoBolt or you are failed to scale it? Here is review of Indeed as a Company in Hyderabad office. You will always be working on your comfort zone. If you're a married guy and you want to work in a government type of firm go ahead but you want to learn and grow in your career then its a big NO. They will ask you to take initiative work on ideas but when it comes to implementation your manager will drag you down, they will never support you. Company has no risk appetite they want you to keep working on same thing over and over again. They will face same situation like yahoo who always thought they are genius and perfect on what they do, nobody can lead them & see today. Company should always work on new modules/technology stack and keep improving over the period of time. Its good for both the company as well as for the employees. Indeed is horrible in that, your job will get frustrating once you get to know what they do!

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.
