Racketeering and greed based culture

Pros

Bread and circuses translate to happy hours and free breakfasts

Cons

I have had a number of years now to reflect upon the practices here at Indeed. After three years within the organisation I am sad to say that we do not value our employees or clients. By using negative reviews of supposed employees against them we leverage additional advertising income by offering to help manage their brand more positively and stop the rising tide of embarrassing inaccuracies about their culture values and practices. It is racketeering at worse bordering on the criminal. As an employee of indeed I can no longer stay silent against those managers and leaders who vehemently foster an aggressive commission culture where bonus payments are King and clients are purely circumstantial.

Pros

The benefits I can’t fault, they’re great. Unlimited holiday Free meals Good OTE

Cons

Horrific range of basic pay across the sales floors. You have lower level colleagues on higher basics than senior sales roles and in some cases higher basics than the directors which makes no sense and those people on higher are not great. They seem to hire almost anyone just to make the numbers up. Growth was rapid and great for the business but managed poorly. Most people now just feel like a number where as before it had that family feel. Senior leadership are pretty clueless.
