Finding people jobs. What a joke if they cannot offer their own people a decent environment to work in.

Pros

If there were any (perceived) pros of working for Indeed they quickly were forgotten about after I was stabbed in the back by my very inexperienced TL.

Cons

Backstabbing a go go. Very low retention rate of holding on to good people. No careers at Indeed. Only jobs if you can take the BS and unrealistic workload and targets. They are not so cool to work as they claim to be. Indefinite number of holidays a BIG joke. If you want to take two or three weeks off in a row managers refuses. The whole aim of all those free breakfast, sport drinks, snacks and meals is to keep employee in the office as long as possible.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We're sorry you didn't have a great experience working in Finance out of our Dublin office. We do provide meals, snacks and drinks to help our employees focus on their jobs and our mission while they're at work. When employees aren't at work, open holidays (paid time off) are one of our most popular benefits, but your workload does dictate when this can happen. We encourage open conversations with the manager and/or the Human Resources business partner if there's an issue with approvals. If you're open to sharing more information, we'd love the opportunity to hear specific details about the workload and management, to address the problem. Please email inside@indeed.com.

Agency account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

The base pay for account managers was industry but commission was very unstable.

Cons

Bonus is very iffy. Horrible management on the agency account management side. Terrible products to sell and not very many at that. If you are remote good luck on learning anything and you will be pressured to sell what cannot be sold. The new Google for Jobs will eventually kill them off. Too many more to quote.

Business Outlook

Pros

- great teammates - line managers are usually great - benefits: unlimited PTO, 6 months parental leave, great insurance - history of openness means that long time employees are not shy about calling out bad decisions

Cons

- reorgs happen at least once per year leaving teams without direction for literal months - SLT is not held accountable for mistakes - claims to be a tech company but hasn't had a CTO in over a year without looking - controversial changes are announced at the last minute and usually half baked (ex: review process changes the week of reviews) - SLT frequently denies reality despite written evidence (ex: there is stack ranking but leaders repeatedly deny when confronted in all hands) - still too much middle management even after layoffs, many have no idea about reality "on the ground" and it really shows at the VP+ levels - slowly rolling back benefits
