Pros

This has been by far the most rewarding professional experience I have had. A few things that stand out to me about Indigo: 1. We work on really hard problems, and people are driven to find solutions. 2. Team members are incredibly supportive and ready to jump in to help on new projects. I have seen few work environments with such a collaborative culture. 3. People work to get things done. There are few managers who are not also doers - having a lot of capable people is valuable in completing the massive body of work that we're tasked with. 4. The level of ownership I've had is unparalleled in other work environments I've been in. People expect - and allow for - a level of responsibility that exceeds any of my past experiences. 5. This is truly a mission-driven company. We are trying to do what's best for consumers, growers, and the environment, and such a strong focus on these stakeholders is incredibly unique for a large, growing organization.

Cons

People work extremely hard - it's definitely not a 9-5 job!

I really appreciate your detailed feedback and the way you describe the work environment - it's consistent with what I've always seen at Indigo - collaborative, supportive, incredibly high levels of ownership. I agree also that people work extremely hard. We aim to make it a flexible work environment and give people a lot of autonomy in their work as well. Thanks so much!

Pros

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Cons

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
