Pros

Lunch M-F, great health benefits, office environment, updated technology, fitness voucher, stock purchase plan, and a lot of opportunity to grow

Cons

DO NOT LEAVE YOU'RE CURRENT COMPANY WITHOUT READING THIS FIRST!!!!! Had I paid more attention to all the reviews, I wouldn't have left my previous company. Understand that there will be challenges and absolutely no structure when working for a startup company. I was very excited to start working here but now that I'm here, its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You're hired for one position but then realize you are doing everything but that job you were hired for. There is no direction/instruction in ANY department. You are basically self taught. If you can't handle daily changes, RUN!!!! Indigo has the potential to be one of the most, if not the only, profitable agriculture company in the world. Just have to go through the fire to get there. And truthfully, not sure how long that will be.

Hi – thank you for writing in….and yes, we are a startup! There are times when it feels ambiguous and I agree with you that Indigo is not going to be the right environment for every person. It’s why we’re really glad when people write in feedback to Glassdoor as it helps job seekers figure out if it’s the right environment. I’m surprised by your comment about a lack of structure and would be interested to learn more. One way I believe we provide structure is by setting quarterly goals at the company level, department level, and individual level. Achievement against these goals is tied to individual bonuses and every employee completes these and has a review with his or her manager at the end of the quarter. If this process is not giving you that, and if you aren’t finding the training you need through our training library on Grovo, please do talk with your manager or one of us on the People team. Again, appreciate you sharing your input and glad that you see the potential for Indigo to grow and for you to grow.

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.
