Pros

Free lunch on Wednesdays and breakfast on Friday. 401k Matching. Great benefits. Great colleagues. Stamford is a fun city. Indeed is a decent place to start a sales career. You will be expected to be at your desk from 9-6 M-F making 60 cold calls a day. Regardless of attainment to quota or how many deals you closed that day or week, you will need to hit 60 calls. No exceptions. For someone starting a career in sales, Indeed will push you headfirst into the world of cold calling and provide you with a very structured day to day. THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.

Cons

All promotions in the sales department are a result of tenure and not qualification. This leads to micromanagement coming from the top down. For someone entering the company who is not an entry level account executive, this can be overwhelming. Although the micromanagement is very obvious it doesn't lead to as many people leaving as you would think because entry level AE's don't know any better.

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.
