Process
I had a phone screen interview with the recruiter.
The second round was with a QA Manager and a Senior QA.
However, the roles were with another team. I felt as though the interview went well, but it would have been nice to actually interview with the team for the role.
After a few days, I was told they felt I didn't have enough technical experience for the position, which makes no sense at all. The role I applied for consisted of manual testing, and I have over 10 years of experience doing manual and automation testing.
To be honest, this is the second time that I have interviewed at Indeed, and it will be my last!
I feel as though Indeed has issues with being a diverse company. I am a black woman, and I felt as though they didn't want me because of that.
This company really should evaluate its hiring. It's a lie to tell someone they lack technical skills when they don't.
If you're black, don't apply to Indeed.

Indeed Work Experiences
- 3.0Ineffective management, old techStaff Software Engineer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesApril 16, 2024Pros: The product is pretty useful, and the work/life balance is okay. Some teams are remote, which is nice.Cons: Technical management, at least in my experience, doesn't know what they're doing. I honestly don't understand the purpose of dev managers who don't know how to code. If your experience is like mine, expect your DM to make you do their job. Resource planning and meeting organization are all ad hoc and delegated. DMs are glorified performance reviewers, and it's pretty clear they're being directed to squeeze performance reviews to find excuses to fire or hold back good engineers to avoid more layoffs, like all the big tech companies. Meanwhile, the tech stack is a mess. It's honestly baffling in 2024. It's something I would have considered obsolete in 2014. There's no time for tech debt, though, because management is so bad at managing projects that everyone is just working on experimental projects that are desperately guessing at ways to improve UX. The vast majority of which fail, wasting months of work. That makes sense for Google, who basically admitted 10 years ago that they'd peaked. Every app does eventually. But you shouldn't hire for growth if you aren't growing.
- 4.0Great company with some organizational problemsDirector of Engineering • Former EmployeeJuly 23, 2024Pros: Great people, great product, empowered teams, very good pay and benefits, free meals and snacks if you work in the office.Cons: While I was working at Indeed, the separate business unit silos were problematic. They had different review/reward criteria and no incentive to work together, creating a lot of duplicate work and inefficiencies. After multiple large layoffs, I have heard that Indeed has been reorganizing to address these problems. I enjoyed working at Indeed and overall recommend the company.
- 5.0Fantastic place to work!Software Engineer • Current EmployeeFebruary 18, 2021Pros: - Fantastic work-life balance focus. - They really care about their employees.Cons: - Nothing really that I can think of.
