Pros

Beautiful offices, good food, excellent health insurance.

Cons

Salaries below market, they ask that people have a master degree and years of experience for a salary in the low 60's ( and that is including bonus) , I wish Indeed spent less on happy hours and a plethora of activities catered to provide fun to the twenty-something and start paying fairly. Leadership is provided by people that might have vast knowledge about the company but whose only job has been at Indeed and with poor management skills, tolerance for laziness is ok because preferences towards friends are not unusual, this promotes a culture of self entitlement that makes work harder than it should be. Open PTO sounds like a great perk at the beginning but then one realizes that some people overuse it whereas some people use little time off, and for the latest, there is no pay for unused time when leaving.

Thanks so much for leaving us a review about your time working for us at Indeed. It’s really important for us that we provide great workspaces and perks for our employees in our offices, and we try to cater to all needs where possible. We are aware that we need to focus even more on manager training and continually strive for a diverse balance of talent within our organization, and appreciate this feedback. In regards to rewarding our employees, we research compensation in each market where we compete for talent, and have a dedicated benefits team that are continually adjusting levels based on data and feedback. When it comes to the feedback around not being paid for leave not taken from your standard holiday allowance, this is incorrect. If you leave the business with holiday leave remaining, you will be compensated for this. The Open PTO is a benefit on top of this so would not fall under the same conditions. Once again thanks for taking the time to suggest improvements - we are listening.

Pros

- Great entry level sales training - The potential to make a great salary for work that is not complex - Free Snacks, Drinks, Lunches - Rapid progression from Account Executive, to Senior Account Executive if you hit your numbers - Company likes to promote from within and gives employees the ability to move around - Indeed is a great product that works well for Advertisers - Product is relatively simple to sell - Management is patient with reps who may not be performing well and offer assistance

Cons

- Management is obsessed with metrics TO A FAULT. The reps are required to hit 60 dials and/or 150 minutes of talk time. This seems achievable however there a many obstacles that make this very difficult i.e customers emailing with account questions, conversations with client services, internal meetings, team meetings, account research for meaningful conversations, documenting in the CRM everything you have done, etc. What is the result? Most reps fill their numbers by making fake dials, sending generic emails, calling phone numbers that they know will never be answered. Further this results in a sales process that is more laborious, transactional, and ineffective. Reps who have to endure through this soon get burned out, or are really good at gaming the system. Open PTO as mentioned in my "Pro's" is not really OPEN PTO. It is just a marketing gimmick used to attract candidates. Any PTO you would like to take off needs to get approved. If you are not pacing to hit your quota you will not get approved because you are behind, not doing well, etc. If you are performing well, pacing to hit quota you can still get denied PTO for various obtuse reasons. It is not really "Unlimited PTO".

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.
