Pros

Innovative. Fast. Cool tech. Great culture. So many other things that make it awesome to work here.

Cons

The new regime of the catered lunch. This has become fanatical about what is served. It used to be a perk but now seems like punishment. Used to have tacos and deli sandwiches and nice things like that often. Now with the push to vegan so often, no meat, meals that are all basically the same in the name of uber-healthy everything, it has become counter productive because we all go to Wendy's for lunch now. Which of course means we are out of the office and eating food that is the worst!. Morale is down due to this - not just in my group .. but across many..

Pros

We've all been jaded by a mission statement on a wall and the incongruity with how things actually get done. I have been surprised with how little difference there is at Indigo between the wall and the reality. It is well-documented how far down farmers are on the ladder of importance and Indigo is doing a staggering amount to change that. Working hard is the table stakes, and working smart while hard is what it takes to be successful. It is clear that colleagues meet those two criteria and they're motivated by something more noble than profits, but social change. That really matters when I go home at night. The snacks, benefits, office space, and general amenities are good, though it's clear that employees want to spend more cycles on their work than taking advantage of everything Indigo offers. Nobody seems to be at work for just a paycheck and free snacks. However, lunch three times a week is certainly well attended. The fast growth of the organization leaves many opportunities for growth, advancement, and innovation.

Cons

The timbre of employee gives off a consultant vibe. It's harder to make friends and relationships because people are so committed to their work and the mission. It is almost too professional for a late-stage startup (but over 1k employees, is that a startup?) There are few social events where cross-departmental teams can mingle, and it's only a matter of time before that manifests into political rivalry or cross-office rivalry. The leadership seems aware of the implications of being a hyper-growth business and have built in some measures to regulate and calibrate the culture, but more needs to be done. There is no junk food. Let me repeat that for those in the back: there is no junk food. No soda, no candy, no chips, no cookies, no energy drinks...This is an intentional decision, which for the most part I applaud except between 2 and 4 pm when some chocolate would be heaven. There does not seem to be a beer fridge, or a beer o'clock where people socialize.
