How employees describe working at Indeed.com
The customer service can be improved. Our access has been down for a month. Called, emailed, responded to emails, uploaded the correct documents. and never got a response.
Goals are difficult to attain
Unorganized merger with Glassdoor is still affecting customers and recent unreasonable price hikes makes Indeed a snake of a company
I love Indeed, Great Company
Great manager and good team spirit

Q&A With Indeed.com Employees
IDX: 0 TOT: 96
What is the best part about your compensation package at Indeed.com?
Top Employee Response
Soft benefits such as free food and snacks, saves me a ton of money so I don't need to make as much.
I can control what I make ultimately. Nicely structured bonuses and commissions system.
Benefits are very good--smaller perks like subsidized backup childcare and teledoc make a positive difference in morale. Open PTO is great.
What are some of the best things about your team at Indeed.com?
Top Employee Response
We have clear objectives and make sure that the meeting follows a productive timeline. Try to end every meeting early
Collaborative and they each care about their work as individuals and what the team accomplishes as well.
Great collaboration, everyone wants to help you

What do you like best about the leadership team at Indeed.com?
Top Employee Response
They lead, teach, and work on personal development with each team member.
Everyone is open...like they don't just say that, they actually are.
They are very honest and transparent - we have a quarterly presentation and a completely open Q&A session where anyone can ask anything
How's the vacation policy at Indeed.com?
Unlimited paid holiday
Indeed provides Open Paid Time Off (PTO), or unlimited vacation time. It simply needs to be reviewed and approve by your manager, so that workloads and arrangements can be made to adjust to your request.
We have unlimited paid time off!
If you could make changes, how would you improve the culture at Indeed.com?
Stop requiring sales to interview for lateral moves
Flatten the hierarchy. Remove middle managers. Promote trust and autonomy.
Less promotions based on who you konw
What does the leadership team at Indeed.com need to get better at?
Top Employee Response
Ensuring things are standardized across the organization, particularly w/ promotion timelines. Also pay needs to be more inline with market
Promoting people who deserve it. To keep up with growth, they promote people that are only qualified because they're friends with management
Hiring/promoting managers. Current managers in my dept (INTL Ops) are stretched thin and unhappy. The review process is not scalable.
What's the office vibe like at Indeed.com?
Top Employee Response
I think Indeed has some of the coolest offices in the US - it is definitely something I show off to my friends when they visit. Our major office in Austin (our HQ) has a fully-staffed kitchen that create gourmet lunches every single day (for free!) - unlimited snacks & drinks, a game room, several baristas on staff who can whip you up any kind of drink you can think of, a nap room, weekly happy hours, 6 beers on tap all the time, daily gym events (yoga, etc), regular company events to help keep stress super low. At our desks, we have an open office plan where it stays pretty quiet (most people have headphones on) - we are each given a laptop, desktop, and two monitors, a fancy chair and whatever ergonomic equipment you want. Our IT department is top notch - they can make basically anything happen for you. Everyone leaves roughly the same time - around 5-6pm, not many people stay late (nor are you encouraged to) - which helps a lot with work/life balance. Overall, A+ office experience
It’s rare to see people in the Austin office. So few come in for more than five to six hours and most leave by 4:30pm.
Energetic and Collaborative
What's going wrong and how can it be improved at Indeed.com?
Top Employee Response
Leadership needs to make sure employees are motivated (let's be real - salaries need to be higher in order to keep people at the company)
Too much work, not enough support. Money is there for prof. dev. but no time. Lower-level employees seem needlessly suspicious of mgrs.
The company does not invest in its workers who are not white, and will only succeed once leadership starts listening to them.
What are your coworkers at Indeed.com like?
Top Employee Response
The bar for hiring in marketing has lowered a ton within the past two years. Generally, there are a lot of middle managers and not many folks doing actual work. Leadership is weak and generally behind-the-times and not innovative when it comes to strategy. Most strategy is outsourced to agencies, who I personally don't think do a very good job.
Not smart. I miss Google where everyone was smart.
Young employee base ranging from 22-32, on average on most inside sales and client services teams. As a result most of my coworkers do not have families or children. People like to go out after work, especially on Thursdays and Fridays. Fun and high energy atmosphere for the most part.
What needs to change to make the company culture better at Indeed.com?
Top Employee Response
More support for managers. Mgmt-intensive culture but teams are far too big for mgrs to do their job well. I can't grow without more support
Dissent is usually suppressed, decisions are made without transparency, and goals are unrealistic.
Less focus on number of calls more focus on interactions with clients. Time on the phone should be more important than quick callS.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better at Indeed.com?
It would be best for everyone to come together to let the management team know how we prefer to be coached to hit our goals.
Start respecting the viewpoints of women and people of color and stop denying them the spotlight.
More support navigating cultural differences that hinder good communication. Help for intl employees adapting to US corporate/tech culture.
How's the leadership on the HR team at Indeed.com?
Leadership on the HR team at Indeed is great. They are a group of forward thinking leaders who want to innovatively disrupt how the strategy and tasks in HR are handled.
The HR leadership is definitely forward thinking and open to new ideas. They will also take the time to explain the reasoning behind a decision or practice so you can understand our goals and the why behind them.
What interview questions does Indeed.com ask?
Top Employee Response
Data Driven arguments
Subpar questions that are so bland it’s like they’re from a cliche skit about interviews.
What's the interview process like at Indeed.com?
Top Employee Response
Very efficient, one on site and done
Several interviews but not very structured or organized. Seemed like no one was prepared. I saw them clearly paying attention to something else(Slack? Hangouts?) while interviewing which was rude.
