Pros

The pay was great if that’s all you care about in a job

Cons

Office politics is terrible. It exists in at all companies but so toxic here. No clear direction- Goals were always changing I’m super supportive of internal upward promotions but Indigo needs to hire managers externally to come in and bring fresh ideas and change things up. I felt like the people who worked there for 4+ years are great but can be closed minded and lack innovation because Indigo was their only job for so long Worked so many hours and sometimes did all nighters to please the boss and it completely broke me. I am still trying to heal after all these months Was contacted about work via text message during vacation lol

Pros

Excellent salary and medical benefits

Cons

Management has no concrete plans, constantly changing employee objectives and responsibilities, plans change with the wind or every new, unproven technology. No work / life balance, contrary to what the company HR boasts about on their website. Every time I was on vacation, my manager called or texted me for ridiculous, "brief" information or updates that was never important or someone else could have answered. They try to brainwash you to live a healthy life better with the company provided lunches, which for most everyone who was a normal person, the food was terrible and not worth paying for anyway! These free lunches and their constant emphasis on always working, never taking a real lunch break away from the office, is really just a form of brainwashing. So is the lucrative bonus program, just a big carrot so you are always forced to work huge amounts of overtime, being available to everyone, all the time. Most of the young, high level positions, these are with kids just out of college, who only know how the work their cell phones, apps, and play with untested technology. You have to use your own cell phone for all company business, the open office and desk concept is hated by everyone, it is just that most staff are afraid to tell management this.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As you know, Indigo is committed driving positive change in the agriculture industry, but we are only at the beginning of that endeavor. That means we will inevitably pursue new approaches when something isn't working. This pursuit also means that we move at a fast pace; employing the work, discipline and atmosphere required to achieve our mission. Thank you again for your feedback.

Pros

Healthy food is free, casual dress every day, benefits are good for a small company.

Cons

Indigo is a beautiful place to work the offices are great and you better love them because you'll be there every day, and working weekends. Work life balance doesn't exist, literally expected to work 90 hour weeks and still feel behind and get called out by Leadership. There is still no 401K match despite raising 400 Million, I don't think that is fair to employees but investors are more important . Exploitation of employees for the benefit of going public and pocketing more money for investors and C level folks. Sure we have equity as early joiners but what does it matter if people get burned out and leave or are walked out when they raise even the smallest issue. The little people of the company are not heard. If you try to voice your opinion management will get rid of you my colleagues have mostly been replaced since I started 2 years ago. Any review with a rating 3 or above is most likely a fake review from someone on the People team or someone who just started as they encourage you to leave a review on your first day onboarding about being the Best Places to work. I have worked many years as an Sales professional before I worked here and this company was hands down the most chaotic, unprofessional, disorganized, dog-eat-dog insane experience. My hats off to a few truly decent people that have figured out how to survive in such a toxic environment. Indigo moves to fast and has completely unrealistic expectations for what employees are supposed to accomplish in work day. I have never before seen a place with such high turnover of employees. Employees are not valued and are taken advantage of in my opinion and it starts on day 1, The company is more about image than training properly, two weeks of training and little to no side by side to learn the process, expectations and many computer programs we have to use. Process changes every week anyway so there is no point in learning it but you have to make time for doing your day job and all the admin work at night. I need more time than 24 hours to go anywhere near meeting the huge unrealistic sales quotas my team has. Senior Management is untrustworthy and do not care about employees. In the office, inexperience managers that are training employees seem to just make it up as they go. Departments silo-ed. Communication is poor. Teams competing for projects, very territorial. Communications from VP to Directors is vague and the deliverables change while in process, or the prescribed deliverable is changed upon delivery. Unbelievable micromanagement from the top down, be prepared to get yelled at on a weekly basis on calls and in person. I am ready to leave after being treated like a child.

Hi, thank you for taking time to share your feedback – as our values state, we always want to treat others with transparency and respect, and I appreciate you being transparent. We know that we move at a fast pace at Indigo, things do change rapidly and we have high expectations of our people. I also know that our leaders care a lot about our employees, and I am sorry that you have not felt that. I hope you will come talk to the People team so we can help address some of your concerns directly.
