Pros

Salary and benefits are good.

Cons

It's an awful and toxic workplace created by upper management. They make it sound like they care about farmers, but trust me, they absolutely do not from my experiences. The arrogance is unbelievable. This company has raised hundred of millions, yet has nothing to show for it.They have SEVERELY mismanaged growth and overcompensated upper management who've done absolutely nothing good for the company. After the first of the year they laid off hundreds (headlines say only 150, but there were two of those large layoffs actually), and many many more prior to the first of the year. The COO is doing her best to drive the company in to the ground, or that's how it seems. Every one of their company initiatives (carbon, marketplace, etc.) have nothing real to stand on as they are just ideas and nothing more. Everybody just talks in circles, pats themselves on the back after meetings, and nobody really knows what to actually do. What's most appalling right now is seeing how many people they're trying to hire, after firing hundreds just two months ago. They pull you in with a high salary and attractive bonus structure, but your goals are unobtainable and you'll be fired within three months. They'll talk about "start-ups and natural attrition" but this is far beyond that. The most unfortunate part is, after all these layoffs the wrong people have been let go. They refuse to cut upper management who's severe miscalculations have put the company in the position they're in. They've fired the people who are only doing what they're told to do, not the ones who've over and over again made the wrong decisions (against all advice). Upper management absolutely refuses at all costs to admit any level of wrongdoing in the decisions they've made. If you speak your mind, you're on the short list to be fired. If you don't kiss up to managers, you're on the short list to be fired. If you don't tell management EXACTLY what they want to hear, you're on the short list to be fired. Stay away.

Pros

Some great teams with really smart people.

Cons

Indigo has lost sight of their original mission. Complete lack of knowledge and understanding by senior leadership on how to make a useful or successful product. Focus changes from week to week and no solid plans are ever put in place. The firing of almost the entire R&D team should be a red flag to anyone who thinks this is an innovative company. Read up on the CEO. This is just another retread of his previous failed attempts at creating B2B marketplaces (Chemdex).

Company is a Mess

Pros

Good pay and good benefits.

Cons

Zero understanding of agriculture, poor leadership, the company leads by fear, goals are astronomical and hardly anyone actually reaches them, poor follow through with growers on doing what they actually say they will, zero transparency, and simply put, a mess to work for and do business with.
