Pros

Excellent salary and medical benefits

Cons

Management has no concrete plans, constantly changing employee objectives and responsibilities, plans change with the wind or every new, unproven technology. No work / life balance, contrary to what the company HR boasts about on their website. Every time I was on vacation, my manager called or texted me for ridiculous, "brief" information or updates that was never important or someone else could have answered. They try to brainwash you to live a healthy life better with the company provided lunches, which for most everyone who was a normal person, the food was terrible and not worth paying for anyway! These free lunches and their constant emphasis on always working, never taking a real lunch break away from the office, is really just a form of brainwashing. So is the lucrative bonus program, just a big carrot so you are always forced to work huge amounts of overtime, being available to everyone, all the time. Most of the young, high level positions, these are with kids just out of college, who only know how the work their cell phones, apps, and play with untested technology. You have to use your own cell phone for all company business, the open office and desk concept is hated by everyone, it is just that most staff are afraid to tell management this.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. As you know, Indigo is committed driving positive change in the agriculture industry, but we are only at the beginning of that endeavor. That means we will inevitably pursue new approaches when something isn't working. This pursuit also means that we move at a fast pace; employing the work, discipline and atmosphere required to achieve our mission. Thank you again for your feedback.

Pros

Been with Indigo for over a year and feel honored to be an employee of this company as we continue to experience exponential growth. CEO David Perry is very transparent and is open to questions about the company.

Cons

None to really speak of. We're a start up company so running into hurdles and overcoming them is to be expected; part of the routine.

Pros

My peers are great and they reimburse me for my commute.

Cons

Nothing works. Company is unable to pay vendors and growers on time on a regular basis. Switches from exotic play to exotic play and can’t even block and tackle correctly. Horrible culture. Can’t speak up or express different view without fear of retribution from management. People are “appointed” to roles within without even interviewing, regardless of background or skill level. The products don’t work, we don’t make anything better or more efficient for farmers, growers, buyers, anyone. The company is run by a bunch of arrogant ivy league grads that don’t understand why the ag industry doesn’t want to immediately adopt their crummy products. They basically assume all farmers and buyers are ignorant and haven’t streamlined their processes after hundreds of years of refining. The company pillars are a joke, we don't always do the right thing and this company is HILARIOUSLY NOT transpararent. They need to bring in some consultants asap to turn this ship around. The morale is comicly low. They claim to care about the environment but trot around employees on planes left and right for meaningless trips just to be in the office somewhere. We need a seperate terraton program just to offset the ridiculous amount of unnecessary executive travel we have. All of the reviews you see that are good are either from HR or employees that have only been with the company for a short time (serously, check their tenure). I'm sure there will be some snippy generic HR response to this but the many bad reviews and plummeting glass door score (look from Nov 18 to Dec 19) show that I'm not some one off. Once the free lunches and standing desk newness wears off you realize how bad it is. If you’re considering it, ignore the free coffee machines and keep your job security where you are.
