Not here to promote indeed, we have our problems but want to let the public know more about this company. Pay: Pretty decent but just not FNG decent. Two Data points I have for SWE at 2YOE 150k Austin 260k SF Food(Austin not sure about other office): 1. Buffet style breakfast and lunch. It is really really good. 2. Barista, coffee smoothies whole day 3. Good pastry whole day 4. Deli, sandwiches throughout the day 5. Snacks, fruits, ice cream, drinks always stacked full WLB: 1. Real Unlimited PTO, at least AFAIK 2. Office is almost empty at 5 3. Not a lot of pressure if you get things done 4. A lot more product than just job search Bad part: 1. Promotions seems hard 2. Company is going through reorg hence the previous hiring freeze which is being lifted 3. Company is promoting brand more now, so people use to think Indeed as a no name company 4. Not big in Seattle or Bay Area Note: I am in the engineering department
Indeed. Indeed. Now what's ur motivation for all this shit?
So why would I work at Indeed instead of any Tier 1 or Tier 2 tech company?
That’s the problem. How do you define tier1? I myself consider Indeed as tier 2, below Facebook, Google, Netflix. Same with Uber etc, I actually had offers from Uber but chose Indeed. So not sure what tier you would consider indeed as.
I consider FAANG, Airbnb, Uber, etc to be Tier 1. I consider Salesforce, Snap, Slack to be Tier 3. I don't know where I'd rank Indeed, but probably Tier 3
Indeed is NOT a top tier engg company. It's on par with Starbucks engg at best. Have you seen the UI? Looks like a 4th grader learnt HTML and was hired to create the homepage.
There's a reason for it.
Market Segment and type of users. Your craigslist/wiki/google search - similar to indeed - is kept minimalist and low grade because the users might not have the necessary technology for loading bloated web UIs.
Op can you share the tech that you have worked on while you are at indeed. Thanks
Not sure if I am at the liberty going into the details but it’s the same as most other companies. We are an engineer-focused company.
You could easily find tech used at indeed by searching
This is top notch faang! 150k in austin with all those perks for 2 yoe is cary af. I am going indeed soon.
Thank you. We pay good if we want you. They outbid my Uber, Apple, start up offer but you have to perform really good in the interview. The interview process is too kind of messed up.
One thing where indeed looses out is on stock. I know that they have an internal stock granting scheme, but it still doesn’t count. People at other fang tend to rest and vest - so in my opinion, no indeed unless they go ipo
260k at 2yoe is better pay than FANG. At least better than mine at 2 yoe
FB can outbid Indeed by way more, this is no brainer. Not trying to say Indeed is at FB level, just saying Indeed can be generous if they want you but on average they are way below FB in terms of brand and TC.
Seattle pitches slider in the dirt and says it’s non-negotiable
Sorry to hear this. Sometimes it’s just bad recruiters. Most hiring managers are eager to get people on board, we are loosing people due to brand and we don’t want to loose people because of salary issue if we really want you.
Sounds good place to work for.
Thank you. We are a pretty decent place to work.
Can I re apply for a position at Indeed if it is for different country?
Not sure. Sorry I wasn’t useful.
Are you giving referral?
I can and will when more positions gets released. Hiring freeze being lifted but not all the way.
Can i please get a referral?
