Pros

OK-ish salary, free food, good engineering culture

Cons

It is quite surprising that the weakest link at Indigo is HR. HR is what has brought this company to its knees and made it a sinking ship. They fired countless highly capable contributors for purely political reasons. They perform constant surveillance of social media posts and I know of people who were fired for quite benign comments on Facebook/Twitter/Linkedin. This percolates to overall employees' mood: there is an atmosphere of fear, repression, distrust and personality cult.

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.
