Pros
The work Indigo is doing is really one-of-a-kind and quite inspirational. They have very wholesome goals and ideas and hopefully they can get to a point of success where those ideas are actively and consistently making a positive impact on the world. I felt nearly every employee was there because they wanted to be apart of something good and thus, most employees themselves, were really positive, great people to be around. There is no doubt that Indigo is full of talented, driven people.
Cons
While Indigo has a great mission, they let that mission rule everything. They were spreading themselves way too thin as they started project after project, rather than focusing on one idea and making that a profitable business in itself. As the company was growing they were hiring like crazy and then found themselves with no cash. This resulted in a large amount of lay-offs because the company had never established a real structure and organization that functioned together as a whole. My personal experience with the IT team was not great either. I found management had very weak communication skills and often times information did not get relayed through the directors, but rather through users coming to support staff with a new problem. That seemed backwards to me. Management also spoke of values like putting your health first, being open and honest, and providing opportunity for growth to various roles. I was really attracted to Indigo because of these values, but in practice, they were not upheld. Taking any sick days or time off was looked down upon. If you were sick, you were expected to be at work. Movement within the department seemed minimal and managers were not advocating for you, but rather pleasing their superior in any way possible. Overall, I was disappointed with the environment within the IT department and was planning on leaving, but ended up being laid off first.
