My gripe with Indeed is probably very old, but as a former recruiter what infuriated me about Indeed is they would scrape my job ads and advertise them "for free" and couldn't understand why I would be annoyed by this. The reason I was annoyed? The job would already be filled and people were still applying because they see the ad. The other reason this was bad? I live and work in Australia, and advertising a job that is not current is illegal -- as a recruiter, the company I worked for could have been fined.
Also (sorry for a third comment) regarding "remote in California": Different states have different labor laws & different wages. A company that has to hire over state lines may have to pay additional money for insurance packages, higher wages, have different hours or benefits, etc. Basically more accountants & more lawyers. That's not very advantageous to most employers, which is why (usually) only the big companies do it. They usually eat those costs by having centers & in-person employees in multiple states anyway.
You would think they would figure out a better way to add that as a search function so to not confuse the heck out of everyone.. but hey.. the search doesn't work as it is.. that's probably asking too much.. lol.. ;)
