Pros

Indigo has passionate people who genuinely care about changing the Ag industry. They offer fantastic benefits, free lunches, great pay, flexible work schedule (for most), gym reimbursements, and challenging work.

Cons

Indigo has moved entirely too fast for it's own good. People are overworked, tired, and on the verge of burnout. The free lunches that the company brings in are great, but then people end up eating at their desk and never get away for a break throughout the day. The company should focus more on mental health (not only physical health). There are many things in our work environment (not leaving for lunch, open office concept, shifting priorities, lack of structure and processes, high sense of urgency, etc.) that lead people to burnout. Also, the company has focused on too many offerings that a lot of people don't even know how to explain what Indigo does. Many times the products/services that we roll out aren't fully thought through (half-baked), which causes a LOT of hardship and frustrations down stream on the sales teams, processing teams, as well as the growers. The offices have gotten to a point where people are out for themselves and are scared of their jobs, which causes people and teams to not work well together.

Pros

My peers are great and they reimburse me for my commute.

Cons

Nothing works. Company is unable to pay vendors and growers on time on a regular basis. Switches from exotic play to exotic play and can’t even block and tackle correctly. Horrible culture. Can’t speak up or express different view without fear of retribution from management. People are “appointed” to roles within without even interviewing, regardless of background or skill level. The products don’t work, we don’t make anything better or more efficient for farmers, growers, buyers, anyone. The company is run by a bunch of arrogant ivy league grads that don’t understand why the ag industry doesn’t want to immediately adopt their crummy products. They basically assume all farmers and buyers are ignorant and haven’t streamlined their processes after hundreds of years of refining. The company pillars are a joke, we don't always do the right thing and this company is HILARIOUSLY NOT transpararent. They need to bring in some consultants asap to turn this ship around. The morale is comicly low. They claim to care about the environment but trot around employees on planes left and right for meaningless trips just to be in the office somewhere. We need a seperate terraton program just to offset the ridiculous amount of unnecessary executive travel we have. All of the reviews you see that are good are either from HR or employees that have only been with the company for a short time (serously, check their tenure). I'm sure there will be some snippy generic HR response to this but the many bad reviews and plummeting glass door score (look from Nov 18 to Dec 19) show that I'm not some one off. Once the free lunches and standing desk newness wears off you realize how bad it is. If you’re considering it, ignore the free coffee machines and keep your job security where you are.

Pros

Smart co-workers who are incredibly passionate for the mission. The mission is amazing and if things can turn around , Indigo could make a positive impact on the earth.

Cons

A culture that the People team believes is outstanding, but is a hierarchical, boys club and is really awful. There are no conversations, just PowerPoints where you are required to always be optimistic by the CEO even when things aren’t good. Hopefully the new COO may be able to change the course— but if not, sadly stay away.
