Pros

Competitive salary and benefits. Bonuses for engineers are great and something that every company should have.

Cons

Indigo is not a software company. They're a business enabled by software. Expect vague requirements, building the wrong thing to meet a business driven deadline, and thrashing. If you are someone who wants at least attempt to build the right thing from the start, this is not the place for you.

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to write a review. I appreciate the positive feedback on compensation as we care a lot about getting this right. I am sorry your experience was not positive and I'm disappointed that you didn't feel like Indigo was a place for software developers, as our Engineering team is very focused on building a strong culture. Every piece of feedback we get is helpful and I'll make sure the team sees this. Thank you again for taking time to write this.

Pros

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Cons

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
