Indianapolis DC is a Measured Nightmare
Pros
The pay is nice at the entry level Commendable benefits You'll get to travel (because you'll have to) Faux startup-like open office. It doesn't really make sense in the context of the work being done here, but it's marginally better than cubicles Office culture is light, fun, and mostly inoppresive at first They onboard with 2 months of training, which is really good
Cons
The company is, for lack of a better term, shady. They won't be transparent with you, and will often respond patronizingly to your concerns / questions You're expected to relocate for each project (which lasts 2 - 6 months on average), despite HR telling new recruits otherwise during training Little to no control over your career trajectory. Talent will tell you otherwise, but will push you into irrelevant roles, squandering any skillset or talent you may feel/communicate/prove that you have, and you have to work these or you'll be fired You have to make an effort to keep up with your primary skills which aren't guaranteed to be utilized You have a very limited voice, HR flat out lies about taking your concerns into account Despite anything you've been promised, in Indianapolis, you'll only have access to support roles. Waiting for more diverse opportunities ultimately amounts to a waste of time. With no opportunities to recieve relevant experience, one could easily find themselves stuck here if they're not careful If you're fresh out of college & have a desire to meaningfully advance your career, do not work here. Most of the engineers I came in with quit within months of being onboarded, stating that their talent was wasted here If your manager quits, they aren't actually replaced. You're your own boss now!
