Process
The people are nice and professional.
It is a kind of long process, but it is fair.
Their internal recruiters know their stuff and made coping with all the interviews a lot easier.
Friends mentioned that the interview process was tough, and I agree that it was.

Good company when the money flows
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
April 9, 2023
Pros: Team dynamics are good. Great work-life balance and health benefits.
Cons: Upper management says they care, but they don't have accountability. It seems during the layoffs, some SLT were smiling and said they can't cut themselves during layoffs and Indeed needs them.
5.0
Great work-life balance
Software Engineer • Current Employee
November 5, 2022
Pros: Actual commitment to work-life balance, solid compensation.
Cons: A very laid-back culture may not be an ideal fit for more ambitious people.
3.0
Used to be great
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Austin, Texas, United States
May 31, 2024
Pros: Their central motto is "We help people get jobs."
Every big meeting opens with that. It's very heart-warming and motivational.
Almost everyone who wants can work remotely. If you do go into the office, there are free meals and snacks. In theory, there's unlimited PTO.
Cons: They did a huge layoff in March 2023. Then another in May 2024.
Over that year, the company has become a miserable place to work. They've switched to a very top-down bureaucracy where clueless directors dictate product direction with no justification. Then they scramble the org structure so all the priorities change every few months.
And they decide how ratings will be decided at the end of the quarter (or maybe every 6 months...that also keeps changing).
