Pros

The company attracts talented people and provides solid initial training. You will work with smart colleagues, learn how to sell at scale, and gain exposure to enterprise-level processes. The brand name carries weight on a resume, and the sales experience can be valuable early on.Decent salary

Cons

Unfortunately, the longer you stay, the more the cracks show. Leadership consistently prioritizes short-term revenue optics over sustainable client relationships or employee development. Metrics are constantly shifted, goalposts move mid-quarter, and success is often redefined after the fact. High performers are regularly squeezed harder rather than supported, while systemic issues are framed as individual failures. Management layers are bloated and disconnected from day-to-day reality. Decisions are made far from the field, then pushed down without context, clarity, or accountability. Feedback from frontline sales is routinely ignored, even when patterns are obvious and repeatable. Compensation becomes increasingly unpredictable over time. Commission structures are changed without meaningful input, and the risk always falls on the rep. Career progression is unclear, inconsistent, and often feels political rather than performance-based. The culture quietly shifts from “growth and opportunity” to “pressure and attrition.” Burnout is common. Transparency is selective. Job security feels fragile, even for tenured, high-performing employees.

Pros

It is one of the funniest places ever to work. The whole thing is like a sitcom. I was constantly laughing as I sat in meeting after meeting about some obscure initiative that had nothing to do with the core business, ran by someone in Carhartt overalls and a clown hat. It is the most unserious company to ever exist, I wish it was a show.

Cons

Complete and total chaos, inmates running the asylum. Received a negative performance review for a job title I did not possess. Let me repeat that for dramatic effect: I received a negative review for a job title I officially did not possess. Only at Indeed is this even possible. Total anarchy. Entire organizations piled into one another with no clear purpose. People floating around without managers. Managers floating around without employees. Managers who have their child on every single call. Managers floating around without employees, who have their child on every single call. If you are considering joining Indeed, you are 10 years too late. Run.
