      Director Interview

      Director Interview

      12 Sept 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Indeed (Austin, TX) in May 2014

      Interview

      I received an email from the recruiter at Indeed about a role that might be a good fit. We spoke over the phone and I took 2 phone interviews with the hiring manager and C-level officer. After that, I went onsite for three separate 1:1 interviews to which the hiring manager was late 15 mins for an 1hr interview. What a joke?! After a week, and a callback from the recruiter, the executive team redefined this role as an Analyst position with 1/2 the salary. Haha! Yeah, right. It didn't take me long to realize this company was trying really hard to be Google, but without the personality. The office was so sterile. Don't get me wrong, I like clean, but this was boring clean. All in all, the process and company was a sad reflection of how companies view job seekers. What made this more ridiculous is that they claim to do everything for job seekers. Guess what?? 1.5 years later, they never hired anyone for this role. It was one of those unicorn roles that they really didn't plan to fill. What a waste of time for everyone!

      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Indeed (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      Very straighforward and transparent process for the role. Spoke with recruiting manager and had clear guidance and set expectations each step of the way. When I wasn't a good fit for a role I interviewed for, the hiring managers and recruiters suggested others that I met with. I felt seen and valued through the entire process.

      Director Interview

      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Indeed in Jul 2020

      Interview

      I have serious concerns about your HR candidate experience to date , particularly as a search engine and software company who in its marketing and branding espouses to be helping candidates succeed in their careers search, yet enacts a flagrantly demeaning emailing campaigns, where the tone and timing are indicative of eco-system hostile and hurtful to candidates and industry colleagues. I apply for openings where I have researched the company, its culture, its R&D, P&L statements, and its cultural climate , and do not anticipate or appreciate receiving emails such as “You’re invited to the Job Cast: Succeeding at Search”, which says more about Indeed missing the mark more than anything else. Since there are actual people interested in talking to folks at Indeed, what candidates expect as human beings is to be treated with respect and to know that their time is valued and appreciated. Not everyone is a great fit for a role, but every candidate should have a positive experience in the candidate journey. This is amid a time of significant change, from Covid-19 crises, the racial lynching of George Floyd, Brionna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, a financial crises, and civil rights movement, and should be instead where Indeed is doing its part to actively contribute to social decency and professional decorum rather than adding to the conflict there is in the world. What would be helpful is a forum with job candidates, perhaps, Candid Indeed conversations with prospective candidates, on the ways in which implicit bias, sexism, unconscious bias, microaggressions, and white supremacy show up in Indeed’s candidate experience and cultural climate, even when folks intend to be fair and impartial. And if there were more diversity, equity, and inclusion at Indeed, they would know better, do better, and care by doing the daily work. My hope to those at Indeed whether you are holding things down in HR, sales, finance, accounting, engineering, security, compliance, technology, marketing, training or research - that you have a far better candidate experience in your employment journey at your next company than that I have had with indeed. You deserve it and are worth it. YOU. ARE. WORTH. IT.
