Pros

The Austin office still has free lunch (for now) which is pretty good for cafeteria food. The office is nice. Remote options are nice.

Cons

Indeed's once strong reputation is now long gone. With 3 rounds of massive layoffs in the last 2.5 years and the impending doom of more layoffs, morale is at an all time low. No guidance from upper management who run around like chickens with their heads cut off from project to project. The CEO from Recruit (because they forced our old CEO out) just gives generic "do more AI" messages.

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.
