Pros

Free snacks, some games and catered meals; *almost* like working at a startup company.

Cons

No sense of unity among departments or colleagues. Many of my "co-workers" in various departments were rude and distant. The company is too large to operate like a startup, but the environment attempts to replicate a startup. Very poor management and the training procedures are completely scattered. Very disorganized. The training when I was there was a nightmare.

Pros

Initial impressions are very impressive. It's hard to get hired here and the first visit can give the 'wow' experience. -Office environment is beautiful (contemporary office space, Aeron chairs, Varidesks on demand, Herman Miller furniture, etc.) Tons of really good, free food. -Lots off employee events like happy hours, family days, picnics, etc.) -High growth mode. Relatively easy to get a new hire req approved. Very optimistic about the future (without explanation.) -good level of transparency about most things (salary and comp bands are not one of them) -Product and Engineering divisions run the show -Opportunities to move around the company -Salary trends on the low side. -Benefits are very good with low cost to employees.

Cons

-Feedback system gone fubar. Online system allows people to send private email to managers about their people. Creates two-face, passive aggressive environment -Different departments have unique cultures and hierarchy (meaning some positions a different grade then equivalent positions in other departments.) -Avoid program management and BA roles which are like department admins -Some VPs are very tuned in (COO, CEO, Product, Eng), others are not (Marketing) -Very millennial oriented. Abundance of perks creates entitled environment. Lack of urgency to get things done. Passivity abounds. -Most departments use a quarterly eval process. The continuous feedback system can be helpful but is time consuming and makes people feel like they are walking on egg shells.

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!
