Pros

- Free lunch, snacks - Good personal time offs - Nice office location in town

Cons

- Management doesn't care about your growth, they pretend to do so when it is time for reviews - No action, only words - management will try to convince you they are on your side, believe me they are not - Lots of feedback collected on different levels but almost no action, follow ups on them - Engineering leadership cannot resolve conflicts between product and engineering - Time wasting and inefficient performance evaluation process

Hi there. We’re disappointed to read that you felt your leadership team has not been able to meet your expectations. As the Engineering Chief of Staff one of my biggest priorities is to make sure the organization constantly reviews and refines our hiring, performance management, and progress-through-level processes. This helps us make sure we are as effective and efficient as possible. We also review market compensation data at least once a year and make appropriate adjustments to stay competitive. We work very hard to create a great environment for our employees, and we’re glad that you enjoy the perks. But it’s not just about the perks. Our goal is to be the best place to work where our employees feel valued, engaged, and productive, and that every team member has the opportunity to make significant impact to Indeed’s mission of helping people get jobs. With all that said, this continues to be a journey for us, and we would like to learn more from you about other areas of opportunities we may be overlooking. Please get in touch with us at inside@indeed.com for a confidential chat, so we can look into this further. Best, Mary Bui-Pham Engineering Chief of Staff, Indeed

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.
