Pros

Indeed has been a wonderful company with amazing culture but changes with leadership, products, all time low quota attainment (at least in my 4 years) are causing people to leave in droves.

Cons

Indeed is forcing clients to change to pay per applicant versus our pay per click pricing model since we can't grow anymore with our current model to make our shareholders happy. Looking to increase the spend per job is making our clients furious and no one wants to listen to feedback. While the spend per job increases, there is less job volume and quotas are created based on pay per click models causing sales to miss consistently. A lot of sales orgs are going through challenges with quota attainment but this seems to be self-inflicted. Indeed is looking at long-term growth but will experience short term struggles and for sales that is concerning. We also lost the face of sales this quarter, our CRO, who has been with Indeed and is "leaving for another opportunity" where I believe he sees the writing on the wall like many others. In my opinion, our new pricing model is going to make us the next monster.com since we always listen to jobseeker feedback but not our clients apparently.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
