Pros

Indeed grew massively over the course of 2016 and essentially has complete market share over the job search market. It's a stable company in a stable industry with a solid, laid back culture and an energetic, youthful workforce.

Cons

The company is growing too quickly and, with the massive scaling, a lot of bureaucracy is creeping in. Some of the startup "perks" are there ... but the startup "feel" no longer is. This is a place where you can work comfortably and without stress; however, it's no longer a place that encourages active experimentation. It's stable, in both the best and worst use of the word.

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.
