Pros

Nice people, snacks, parking glassdoor asks me to add more words here, but there are no more pros!!

Cons

Young inexperienced managers and lack of senior managers and developers, work life balance is a joke, the culture is to work long hours. There is always a project that is in rush, and therefore if you are a developer in that company, your life is a disaster.

Thank you for your review and I agree, we do have nice people and there really are a lot more pros than you mention. I am disappointed you feel the way you do about managers and that your work/life balance is out of alignment. Sometimes working longer hours to meet project deadlines is a reality pretty much anywhere, but it is certainly not our culture. We’re a company that cares about its people, we value each and every one and know they are our greatest strength. If you are not happy, perhaps you don’t understand why things are as they are, you just have to let us know and we’ll work it out together. By posting this review, you’ve taken the first step, so now I welcome you to come and talk to me directly, or with your manager, we’re always ready to listen and learn. You won’t be judged, just welcomed and acknowledged as someone who wants to help us make sure we continue to be a great place to work. Dorothy Clark VP, Human Resources

Working at Index has been a really great experience. The culture is super supportive and energizing. People genuinely want to see each other succeed. There’s also a lot of energy and excitement around what we’re building, which makes coming to work feel meaningful. It’s a place where you can speak up and be part of true innovation.

Cons

I can't think of any.
