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.

Pros

The salary is high and insurance plan is nice.

Cons

This company likes to act like they are doing really great things in agriculture, but anyone from an ag background can see that they aren't executing any of the "grand" ideas. The entire team from my state with the exception of a couple have been fired or left the company due to an out of touch, over bearing executive and her minions. Mind you, these people come from backgrounds that have nothing to do with production agriculture. They want their account managers to be software or pharmaceutical sales reps and refuse to believe EVERYONE when they say that ag is a relationship based selling practice. The one product they have that can help farmers, they threw to the side when they came up with a couple of ideas that make the company look bigger and better than it is. If you are considering working for this company, read the reviews, I haven't read a low rated one that wasn't true. They will lie to you and if you don't fall in line with their off the wall selling approach and or attitude you will find yourself looking for a new job. If you come from agriculture I can promise you it isn't all its' cracked up to be, and you won't realize it until you're in the door. Do your research and ask all of the questions you can, hopefully you can get truthful answers. You might also ask where the funding is coming from and that can give you an idea of who/what the investors want out of the company.

Thank you for your candid feedback. At Indigo, we are innovating across the entire agriculture industry and bringing new tools to help growers and buyers of grain do things differently in a way that is better for their profitability and better for the environment. Change is hard, and we recognize that. We believe that making this change requires doing things differently, that there are people from outside of agriculture who can bring their experience and expertise to bear to support this change, and that this opportunity to make a huge impact will require significant effort and dedication from the entire team. Because we’re doing something new, we are on a path of continually refining our approach, and recognize that can be challenging as well. As you mention, we are proud of our benefits and support for our employees but we also recognize that our culture of doing things differently is not for everyone, and we certainly appreciate the input.
