Pros

Beautiful offices, good food, excellent health insurance.

Cons

Salaries below market, they ask that people have a master degree and years of experience for a salary in the low 60's ( and that is including bonus) , I wish Indeed spent less on happy hours and a plethora of activities catered to provide fun to the twenty-something and start paying fairly. Leadership is provided by people that might have vast knowledge about the company but whose only job has been at Indeed and with poor management skills, tolerance for laziness is ok because preferences towards friends are not unusual, this promotes a culture of self entitlement that makes work harder than it should be. Open PTO sounds like a great perk at the beginning but then one realizes that some people overuse it whereas some people use little time off, and for the latest, there is no pay for unused time when leaving.

Thanks so much for leaving us a review about your time working for us at Indeed. It’s really important for us that we provide great workspaces and perks for our employees in our offices, and we try to cater to all needs where possible. We are aware that we need to focus even more on manager training and continually strive for a diverse balance of talent within our organization, and appreciate this feedback. In regards to rewarding our employees, we research compensation in each market where we compete for talent, and have a dedicated benefits team that are continually adjusting levels based on data and feedback. When it comes to the feedback around not being paid for leave not taken from your standard holiday allowance, this is incorrect. If you leave the business with holiday leave remaining, you will be compensated for this. The Open PTO is a benefit on top of this so would not fall under the same conditions. Once again thanks for taking the time to suggest improvements - we are listening.

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.
