      Pros

      The salary is high and insurance plan is nice.

      Cons

      This company likes to act like they are doing really great things in agriculture, but anyone from an ag background can see that they aren't executing any of the "grand" ideas. The entire team from my state with the exception of a couple have been fired or left the company due to an out of touch, over bearing executive and her minions. Mind you, these people come from backgrounds that have nothing to do with production agriculture. They want their account managers to be software or pharmaceutical sales reps and refuse to believe EVERYONE when they say that ag is a relationship based selling practice. The one product they have that can help farmers, they threw to the side when they came up with a couple of ideas that make the company look bigger and better than it is. If you are considering working for this company, read the reviews, I haven't read a low rated one that wasn't true. They will lie to you and if you don't fall in line with their off the wall selling approach and or attitude you will find yourself looking for a new job. If you come from agriculture I can promise you it isn't all its' cracked up to be, and you won't realize it until you're in the door. Do your research and ask all of the questions you can, hopefully you can get truthful answers. You might also ask where the funding is coming from and that can give you an idea of who/what the investors want out of the company.

      Thank you for your candid feedback. At Indigo, we are innovating across the entire agriculture industry and bringing new tools to help growers and buyers of grain do things differently in a way that is better for their profitability and better for the environment. Change is hard, and we recognize that. We believe that making this change requires doing things differently, that there are people from outside of agriculture who can bring their experience and expertise to bear to support this change, and that this opportunity to make a huge impact will require significant effort and dedication from the entire team. Because we’re doing something new, we are on a path of continually refining our approach, and recognize that can be challenging as well. As you mention, we are proud of our benefits and support for our employees but we also recognize that our culture of doing things differently is not for everyone, and we certainly appreciate the input.

      The worst experience

      Pros

      The benefits and the mission.

      Cons

      I was let go after working at Indigo for a couple of months because they "didn't have the time to train me and now it was too late". I was not given an opportunity for a performance review plan nor was I given any official warnings. Not only that, but the People team handled the situation entirely wrong as well. They were not present when I was let go, not helpful once I got to talk to them after the fact, AND as I left they said "next time, do better". Seriously?!

      Company on a decline, led by poor leadership and disregarding its best employees

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I've been at the company for a bit now and any real pros are difficult to come up with. They serve lunch 3 times a week, have snacks. But all the stuff like its treatment of employees and general direction the leadership is taking this company is disappointing

      Cons

      - Poor Leadership: Company CEO can not lead the company to an IPO. - Direction of company is all over the place. Company and leadership as a whole needs to be more focused and productive: so many issues within the company - most people don't know whats going on. - Compensation: Indigo HR tries to craft their way to justify putting its most productive people at a lower compensation. If you want the best talent to stay pay them. Poor compensation. - HR like to exemplify an open culture but uses it as an excuse and shield themselves from criticism. It's very obvious to Indigo employees that HR is week and a talk a lot of nonsense.

      Hi – first of all, I’m sorry to hear that your experience at Indigo has not been positive. This is disappointing for me to hear, but helpful feedback. I personally hate to hear that you think the People team is “talking nonsense” – and I would be happy to meet on this directly with you. It’s correct that I try hard to spend time in front of the company on a regular basis to talk about what we’re hearing from employees through regular pulse surveys and I talk a lot about being open and transparent….this because we want to promote feedback, positive and negative, as it gives us insights we might not otherwise get. On compensation, we benchmark this annually using external market data, and every employee receives equity upon hiring and annually as well as a bonus, based on performance. If you have concerns about low compensation, we on the People team would be happy to discuss. You mention an IPO; our mission as a company is to help farmers feed the planet in a sustainable way. We think by doing that we will also create a big and successful company, but if the most important criteria in being at the company is a future IPO, it is probably not the right fit. Thank you again for your comments and taking the time to write into Glassdoor.
