Everyone wants data-driven decisions, in-fact its a core company principal, yet data is constantly a mess and 'unreliable'. There is both a sense of urgency and no urgency at the same time.

I saw planning done for a 150+ person group with no plan, no meeting to kick it off, no working backward dates, no tasks really assigned, just 55 people in one document and frantic slacks in 4-5 different channels and then demands about why things weren't done. Planning processes are non-existent, deadlines are CRITICAL and then they just move.

Folks seem to think scheduling, showing up to meetings and commenting on documents is work. This is a massive company operating soooo slowly. People were fine, though culture is not much to write home about. In my 7+ years as a PM I have been most unhappy here. It is hard to understand why people are Indeed-lifers for a newcomer. I give Indeed 5-10 before they go the way of Indeed had a competitive edge at one point, they squandered that lead and now other startups are coming to eat their lunch. It's laughable it takes that long but I'm not joking. I'm talking 1+ month to add a button to a UI. Some parts of the company are extremely slow moving. Instead they gave toxic people blank checks to go on hiring sprees, duplicating efforts and teams in the process. Indeed culture was TOO nice and SLT wouldn't put their foot down and address the problem. Inflating their own titles and perform kingdom building. The influx of additional people during 2018, 2021 have brought their bad practices from other organizations and without strong leadership at Indeed, has given these people free reign to run amok inside of indeed. What was once an agile, fast moving company has turned into a behemoth without much direction. I joined during a hyper-growth phase and unfortunately all these phases has done is water down the culture and introduce bad practices.
