Pros

Employees under the Senior Manager level are trustworthy and have high integrity for the most part 5-7 leaders who are trustworthy The benefits are pretty strong

Cons

Even if the Carbon program makes it, our reputation is crap, and we'll have so many hurdles to cross with growers that other companies will beat us to the finish line. Transport is led by some questionable characters. "Town Hall" meetings with the CEO on stage for 45 min to answer snarky questions and comments are a sight to behold. There is no culture and are no values. (COO asked everyone to gather around for values sessions, then canceled them and told us what the values would be.) Leaders have no idea of the issues on the ground. There are no efforts to fix the problems (from leaders). The ones working to solve anything are not the face of the company. Leaders do not care about reputational challenges. Leaders do not value long-time employees. Leaders are politicians. CEO hires COO who hires friends. A lot of talking "at" and not talking "with" going on. I am living in a twilight zone back in middle school.

Pros

Very Competitive Pay, Great Hours, Excellent Benefits, Free Healthy Meals and overall a good mission.

Cons

In theory, this company could be a game changer....I mean like save the world gamechanger. However, Execution is the worst I have ever seen. Management is very disorganized, direction changes too fast for anyone to keep up with. End Consumer-The Growers are left confused because the offerings change before their growing season is even over. There is no trust and poor communication from the top down all the way to the growers we're supposed to be helping. Ask 10 people the same question and get 10 different answers. Also, no integrity---Just whatever it takes to make it look good on paper to investors in order to get IPO and go public. No job security and no clear direction. This ship is sinking fast.

Pros

Benefits and coworkers are great

Cons

I've never worked for a company as disorganized as this one. There is no clear direction from anyone top down. When I started, microbial treatment was our top goal. When I was let go, that was barely even talked about. No focus, no direction. Upper management is trying ANYTHING to keep this sinking ship afloat but unfortunately, I don't think that is possible. No one up top knows what they want, so they can't relay a message down below. No communication. Goals are unattainable and workers are treated like disposable entities. There have been SEVERAL rounds of layoffs in the past 2 months - this includes entire departments being wiped out, people being demoted arbitrarily, laying off people who were hired two months ago, etc. The company keeps restructuring hoping that this will be what makes the company actually work but having an actual focus will be the only saving grace. Indigo's mission is to help farmers, but that's the last of their worries. Indigo cares more about their perception than actually paying growers on time and doing what's best for THEM. I genuinely feel bad for the growers who have been conned into thinking this company is revolutionary.

As you know, Indigo was founded on the idea of systematically changing the agriculture industry for the benefit of growers, consumers and the planet. Along the way, we have tried many products and services. Some of our work was successful, some of it simply didn’t meet growers’ needs and didn’t work. We are focused on the tools needed to support grower profitability, including Indigo Marketplace. Marketplace grew over 50 percent per month in the second half of 2019 and currently over half of all the grain buyers in the U.S. are customers. We have been overwhelmed by transaction volume and have enhanced our payment process to address this. Thank you for your review and thank you for the positive comments about employee benefits and your colleagues.
