Pros

When it’s good, it’s good. The food. The swag. The office. Everyone is really approachable and engaged. You have somewhat of a work/life balance.

Cons

Then it goes down. Your merit increase is a joke. You are being paid below market, and trying to argue your case is useless. You can’t park at the office. You have mandatory work from home days because they’ve hired too many people and have no place to put them. Managers miss 1:1s and career advancement is minimal. You can take only so much lip service about how valuable you are, how they have big plans, etc. Then you leave, because your manager’s telling you are worth more, and then, they treat you like scorched earth. Not great.

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review about working at Indeed. As we continue to grow and evolve as a company, we want you to have opportunities to do the same. There are endless ways for you to gain different experiences and take on new challenges within roles, within teams, and within the company. We also review salaries yearly as part of the merit process and have a dedicated benefits team that are continually adjusting levels based on data and feedback. We have launched a global salary project across the business to look at our salary ranges across all roles. With growth comes certain challenges which we may not have experienced before so we really do appreciate the support of our employees (like yourself) through this time as we learn.

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.
