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

What's the vibe like in the Engineering dept at Indeed.com? How many hours are you working?
50-55 hrs/week is pretty typical. Vibe ranges from a bit more chaotic for new/growing teams trying to prove themselves to a lot more settled for established teams where development can be slow and careful.
What's the Marketing team like at Indeed.com?
Strong, very smart team made up of provocative thinkers that are not afraid to take risks, even if it means that failure could result.
How's the leadership on the Marketing team at Indeed.com?
Marketing leadership is incredibly in-tunned, adaptable & committed to driving activities that support the larger business objectives. They move fast!
Does Indeed.com have any remote positions?
Indeed does have some remote positions, which are mostly sales or marketing related. You can search remote positions on http://indeed.jobs.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation at Indeed.com?
I think that there is Tech privilege at Indeed, and it is shown in the pay/equity structure
do you agree with the overall marketing strategy there?
An integral part of the company's early success was due to very effective sem and seo work. We've since tacked on things like branding and whatnot. For those efforts, it's much harder to prove impact - marketing attribution is a famously difficult problem. Unfortunately, I think a lot of the initiatives that the marketing department works on come from external marketing culture "Well at company x, we did y, so I think Indeed should do y," or "Big brands don't do z, so Indeed will not do z." Indeed has a strong product driven culture that enjoys testing and iteration, and I think that in general our marketing strategy and operation does not reflect that.
How much freedom do you have with your roadmap?
a lot
