Pros

Everyone for the most part is truly dedicated to the work that Indigo touts as its mission statement. You are guaranteed to be around some of the most intelligent, hard-working folks around.

Cons

Indigo's goals were what drew me to the company, but whether it succeeds in its goals has become an increasingly unanswerable question. Although they promote transparency and consumer-lead operations, they are ultimately a startup beholden to profitability and investor's greed. While at Indigo, I experienced increasing opaqueness and lofty, near-impossible goals from upper-management, leading to decreased morale, increased stress/workloads, and confusion on the direction the company was actually taking. I truly believe in the de-commodification of big ag and the need for large-scale ag revolutions, but Indigo has proven to me that they are not the way forward. I was cut loose without any warning as the company rapidly shifted gears; if you wish to work at Indigo, be wary of their ever-changing company goals and disposability culture. You may be treated well at first, but depending on your usefulness, you may find that treatment changes over time.

Pros

Great coworkers and lifelong friends.

Cons

The company does not know what they want to be when they grow up. The company went in so many different directions for no other reason than they arrogantly thought they pull it off (reminds me of WeWork). The lack of focus and failure to execute starts at the top. The CEO’s failures can be seen by a simple google search, and he’s replicating the same model all over again. The same lack of system integration and running the entire company off of a ton of spreadsheets (I wish I was exaggerating). The CSCO has failed to build a successful business unit. His departments have faced many layoffs, and some have been moved under different leadership (hopefully they can save them). The board has lost all faith in the CEO and COO, hence why two members have stepped in as interim global COO and interim CFO. The company operates way too long unchecked by not having a CFO, resulting in frivolous spending and payment problems. Payments to vendor and growers have been a problem from the start and only gets worse. Hopefully the board members can help right the ship, but I believe the worse is yet to come.

Pros

Exciting mission Passionate workers Good benefits

Cons

They just laid off 150 employees in a month No signs of knowing that the company will be profitable Constant changing priorities (you can't ever finish a project) People in senior roles without prerequisite experience in the function (product vp with no prior experience in product)
