Pros

Healthy food is free, casual dress every day, benefits are good for a small company.

Cons

Indigo is a beautiful place to work the offices are great and you better love them because you'll be there every day, and working weekends. Work life balance doesn't exist, literally expected to work 90 hour weeks and still feel behind and get called out by Leadership. There is still no 401K match despite raising 400 Million, I don't think that is fair to employees but investors are more important . Exploitation of employees for the benefit of going public and pocketing more money for investors and C level folks. Sure we have equity as early joiners but what does it matter if people get burned out and leave or are walked out when they raise even the smallest issue. The little people of the company are not heard. If you try to voice your opinion management will get rid of you my colleagues have mostly been replaced since I started 2 years ago. Any review with a rating 3 or above is most likely a fake review from someone on the People team or someone who just started as they encourage you to leave a review on your first day onboarding about being the Best Places to work. I have worked many years as an Sales professional before I worked here and this company was hands down the most chaotic, unprofessional, disorganized, dog-eat-dog insane experience. My hats off to a few truly decent people that have figured out how to survive in such a toxic environment. Indigo moves to fast and has completely unrealistic expectations for what employees are supposed to accomplish in work day. I have never before seen a place with such high turnover of employees. Employees are not valued and are taken advantage of in my opinion and it starts on day 1, The company is more about image than training properly, two weeks of training and little to no side by side to learn the process, expectations and many computer programs we have to use. Process changes every week anyway so there is no point in learning it but you have to make time for doing your day job and all the admin work at night. I need more time than 24 hours to go anywhere near meeting the huge unrealistic sales quotas my team has. Senior Management is untrustworthy and do not care about employees. In the office, inexperience managers that are training employees seem to just make it up as they go. Departments silo-ed. Communication is poor. Teams competing for projects, very territorial. Communications from VP to Directors is vague and the deliverables change while in process, or the prescribed deliverable is changed upon delivery. Unbelievable micromanagement from the top down, be prepared to get yelled at on a weekly basis on calls and in person. I am ready to leave after being treated like a child.

Hi, thank you for taking time to share your feedback – as our values state, we always want to treat others with transparency and respect, and I appreciate you being transparent. We know that we move at a fast pace at Indigo, things do change rapidly and we have high expectations of our people. I also know that our leaders care a lot about our employees, and I am sorry that you have not felt that. I hope you will come talk to the People team so we can help address some of your concerns directly.

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.
