Pros
Smart, passionate employees (until they basically all were let go).
Cons
Indigo hires a lot of people and then regularly lays off large amounts of staff to trick investors into believing that Indigo is a good company to invest in. This allows them to show that their expenses are low. In reality, the remaining Engineering staff is not equipped to maintain the existing products, so innovation has completely stopped. Expenses are low, but there is no one left to build, and maintain, the products that make the company money. The C-Suite has no empathy for anyone. People are laid off based on their salary for the most part without any regard to the value they provide. Believe me, I understand how businesses can be cutt-throat, but Indigo has made laying people an art form at this point. HR is cold and callous during most interactions, not even when you get laid off. Basically, more and more of the company is laid off every quarter as if it is a recurring event on the CEO's calendar, and an appointment that he loves to keep. Everyone, especially in Engineering, has been laid to waste throughout multiple rounds of layoffs over the last couple of years. The CEO is 100% fake. Diversity and inclusion is talked about, but is never put into practice. The one person in human resources that was hired to lead this effort was laid off less than three months into her tenure. After their constant, massive layoffs, the agreed upon severance pay does not show up on time, and seems to be a common struggle with most employees that are laid off. HR is incredibly slow to get back to people, and that is the worst time to treat people like this. There is a never a good time, but when someone's life has been drastically altered, and people are still in shock, they then need to contact HR multiple times just to receive a response. This has happens to quite a few people - not just once. The business outlook is bleak at best. The company bleeds investment dollars while trying to paint a different picture to investors. Sadly, they still have had multiple rounds of investments, all while the company never hits profitability. This has been a goal for years, and are still unable to get there. Stop calling yourself a start-up because it sounds cool to engineers when the company is too old to still be this dysfunctional, and the culture is just to work harder with less resources with no light at the end of the tunnel. If the company treated engineers like valuable resources, the attrition rate would not be absolutely horrendous.
