Pros

Indeed has fantastic folks working in middle management and down. Pay seems to be competitive and benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Managers are not empowered to make decisions for their teams and have little power to influence decisions that impact them. Many of the decisions, especially those associated with the last few rounds of layoffs felt arbitrary and lacked sound reasoning. The senior leadership team is very disconnected from most employees, and even many members of the senior leadership team seem to wait on the CEO to approve any decision. The stated values at Indeed are very different from the actual business and employee practices.

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.
