Pros

If you want to work alongside people who are incredibly passionate about our mission to change ag for the better and work hard at it, this is the right place.

Cons

The pace is incredibly fast - yet somehow still very organized and thoughtful. Work life balance can be a challenge but when you believe in the mission, it's always worth it in the end.

Just Remember....IT'S A STARTUP!!!!

Pros

Lunch M-F, great health benefits, office environment, updated technology, fitness voucher, stock purchase plan, and a lot of opportunity to grow

Cons

DO NOT LEAVE YOU'RE CURRENT COMPANY WITHOUT READING THIS FIRST!!!!! Had I paid more attention to all the reviews, I wouldn't have left my previous company. Understand that there will be challenges and absolutely no structure when working for a startup company. I was very excited to start working here but now that I'm here, its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You're hired for one position but then realize you are doing everything but that job you were hired for. There is no direction/instruction in ANY department. You are basically self taught. If you can't handle daily changes, RUN!!!! Indigo has the potential to be one of the most, if not the only, profitable agriculture company in the world. Just have to go through the fire to get there. And truthfully, not sure how long that will be.

Hi – thank you for writing in….and yes, we are a startup! There are times when it feels ambiguous and I agree with you that Indigo is not going to be the right environment for every person. It’s why we’re really glad when people write in feedback to Glassdoor as it helps job seekers figure out if it’s the right environment. I’m surprised by your comment about a lack of structure and would be interested to learn more. One way I believe we provide structure is by setting quarterly goals at the company level, department level, and individual level. Achievement against these goals is tied to individual bonuses and every employee completes these and has a review with his or her manager at the end of the quarter. If this process is not giving you that, and if you aren’t finding the training you need through our training library on Grovo, please do talk with your manager or one of us on the People team. Again, appreciate you sharing your input and glad that you see the potential for Indigo to grow and for you to grow.

Terrible culture - Charlestown R&D

Pros

Benefits are good. If you don’t question anything and keep a smile on your face you will be rewarded. Get in with the right people, play along with the politics and get promoted.

Cons

HR turns a blind eye to toxic culture and bullying, R&D management cherry picks data and lies to meet their goals and impress shareholders. Employees in perfect standing getting let go suddenly because they weren’t needed anymore. Little room for advancement; they will make people chase after promotions for years while piling on the work. If you care about doing sound science and want to feel rewarded by your work this is NOT the place for you.

Hi there and thank you for your feedback. As someone who was part of Indigo for so long, I’m truly sorry that you have not had a good experience, and this is disappointing to read. You mention bullying and so I’ll take a moment to detail what happens when we someone comes to us with a concern about bullying. Immediately the People Business Partner will investigate by talking with the person who raised the issue, the person allegedly doing the bullying, and anyone who may have witnessed the situation described. The People Business Partner evaluates the claim and discusses it with me and our General Counsel. In the spirit of transparency, we have had two bullying investigations in the past 2 years and we resolved both situations as rapidly as we could while being sure we gathered complete information. I’m concerned that you question the zero tolerance policy and I would be happy to discuss further with you about this and your other concerns. Again while disappointing to read, I am really grateful when people write in to Glassdoor as it gives us an opportunity to learn how people feel. Even if I have a different perspective, if you are not having a good experience, there is an opportunity for us to do better. Thank you.
