Pros: Benefits - I think this is the one big thing why so many people have stuck to Indeed since they first began. * Free food - all the time, breakfast, lunch, snacks * Open PTO * Balanced life (unless you are unlucky to get a lazy lead/manager who would play politics to keep himself safe) * Work from Home * Relaxed environment * Diversity * Great happy hours * Lots of freebies and tees Engineering teams might be better; not sure though.

Cons: Products are not really planned and implemented well. Every person who needs to prove himself starts a new product/application, leading to redundancy and confusion. Lack of a well-defined process. Lack of documentation. Most of the teams are new and have been in existence since mid-2015. Hence, they have all the problems a new process would face, as would the team members.

Pros: Modern tech stack with a competitive salary. Depending on the team you're in, work can be quite interesting.

Cons: Recently, Indeed has laid off thousands of employees, resulting in very long working hours for those who remain. Some managers micromanage.

Pros: Unlimited PTO, free meals, cool office aesthetics, smart colleagues, and some friendly people to work with.

Cons: When I first started, Indeed had more of a laid-back, "startup" feel. That started to fade away when it grew tremendously in 2016, 2017, 2018, etc. Indeed has a "no jerks" policy, but that didn't seem to be applied as much as the years went on. Top talent people from the West and East Coast were brought in for brainpower, but with that often came huge egos and underdeveloped emotional intelligence/social skills. Entitled "geniuses" started roaming around the office. Pay was also quite low for my department. Some departments might have been different, but they claimed all of the cushy techy perks were justification for below-average pay. This was in Austin when the housing/rent prices began skyrocketing as an influx of transplants kept rolling in. Management was pretty incompetent in my department. Lots of favoritism and college-cliquey vibes that got unqualified people promoted if they were within that clique. There was a lot of pressure to hang out at the office as much as possible. It was a good gig for recent grads, but a lot of people had their entire lives and identities embedded in the Indeedian work culture. If you didn't want to partake in all of that, it was a bit to your disadvantage. Depending o
