Pros

- Competitive salary - Commitment to showing employees they are valued & appreciated. High performance is rewarded. - Freedom to choose how, when, and where I work. They trust me to get the job done well and leave the rest up to me. - Major trust in employees. No micro-managing or unnecessary checking in. - Extremely supportive of my professional development; they do not hold employees back from pursuing their ambitions. People who want to learn, grow, and contribute will thrive here. - So many options for advancement & internal movement - Being part of an industry-disrupting company

Cons

- Startup culture can be unpredictable at times. Big changes hit hard and fast. - There is always a level of uncertainty/risk when working for a company that doesn't yet have a stronghold in its industry.

Consider Carefully the Unstable Environment You May Walk Into

Pros

Indigo Ag can recruit very talented individuals with their strong mission, values, and good salary. Their mission is inspiring and more agriculture companies need to prioritize farmer profitability, sustainability, and consumer preferences. Though most individuals they hire do not have experience in agriculture, they hire very top-notch talent! They allow the opportunity, in many cases, to work remotely for good wages. Their Memphis and Boston offices are spectacular!

Cons

It is a start-up still (despite what some executives say now given the volume of employees), so changes are abrupt and dramatic. For example, many outside sales reps were laid off without being employed by Indigo for even 90 days. If not laid off/let go, your job description when hired *will* change drastically. If it does not, you are in an outlier role within the company; certainly not sales or management. There is something very important to be said for people who care about the health of the ag industry when working on a platform like Marketplace (Indigo's #1 focus for 2020). They have finally put a few managers/directors in place who are motivated particularly by the commodity trade, but no one can seem to figure out how to effectively communicate market info amongst teams. Management turnover is very high. It seems you have to build rapport with a new manager every couple of months, if not every quarter. In agriculture, you find a strong atmosphere of "people do business with people." However, people often don't do business with people if the company that person works for is known in the industry as being untrustworthy and for not executing transactions effectively.

Pros

Great mission — supporting farmers, environmentally friendly science, etc

Cons

The tone from the top of the organization does not create an environment that encourages employees to share their opinions. There is little debate. The company is fearful of the CEO, and as a result, nobody challenges him. And if you try, you will be crushed. In my opinion, this is a recipe for disaster. It was all okay when the company was making progress, but it is now all falling apart. And what a terrible time to be burning tons of cash and needing to complete another financing.

Hi there, and thanks for taking time to write a review. I'm sorry to hear that your experience at Indigo was not positive and that you felt it was hard to share your opinions with leadership. Our CEO holds weekly All Hands meetings with employees and answers questions candidly to ensure we are hearing from and responding to challenges for our people. If you have additional suggestions on how we can enhance the conversation with our people, we welcome them.
