Indeed Employee Reviews for Engineering Manager

Indeed seems to be a very different kind of a beast, comparing to any other places in my long-ish career history. After I have joined, I found that it had an amazing work culture of a progressive engineering company, kind of like a startup, but without the typical startup chaos and pains. People of all levels are extremely nice, approachable and willing to help. Teams truly collaborate. There seems to be a good balance between the push for value and a sense of relaxed environment. There are many excellent and talented people around me, and, as it seems, very few people ever want to leave! I am still trying to figure out how it is all even possible. Enormous amount of thought seems to be put not only to the hiring process, but also the ramp-up of engineers and managers, recognising the true value of individual contributions, performance management, compensation, etc. There seems to be notably less top-down direction than in any other companies I have worked at. To a large extent, the responsibility is with an individual to pick the best ways they can contribute. This may be great for some, but somewhat scary for others. For engineers, there are many very attractive engineering challenges, including cutting edge big data and AI problems on one side of the spectrum, top notch infrastructure and tooling on the other side. So far, I have to say Indeed seems to be an excellent place to work.

Pros

Excellent culture, systematic way to start new employees up, good benefits, Singapore also has this startup feel of a small company

Cons

Individuals need to figure out how they can contribute best
