Pros

Indigo Slate has great people who do amazing work

Cons

Read the comments by current and past employees. And then re-read them…And then cross Indigo Slate and Zensar off your list to ever work for!! BAD doesn’t even come close. Run away! Indigo is losing any freedom they once had and Zensar is coming in to take over. Bad quarters blamed on “recession” when the reality was some of the boss boys were enjoying summer vacation. The only person who cared about us was head of HR…and she is now leaving. Only a matter of time before there is nothing left but the fancy office in seattle all the money went into... We are all job hunting now!

Zensar is a joke

Pros

Indigo Slate (the Zensar US org) was an amazing place to work for the years I was there. It's filled with creative, passionate people who wanted to solve marketing challenges for our clients. Indigo Slate before the Zensar acquisition was a small boutique marketing firm that was getting better. Since the acquisition it's been nothing but corporate roadblocks and outrageous demands from the Indian conglomerate that has no business directing things in the US, let alone in a creative marketing space. They are out of touch and completely mistaken in their strategies.

Cons

Misogynistic, white, top heavy leadership structure. - The leadership team (previously the Senior Leadership Team) is a majority white, majority male dominated (there has never been a senior leader who has been femme presenting and it's very obvious) group. The diversity and inclusion efforts are admirable but all too often are undercut by the bottom line of the top company officers/partners. Next to no leadership in the executive team. - The people in charge are the same ones that have led through a half dozen other hiring and layoff cycles over the last 10 years. Just browse the reviews, that culture hasn't changed, Zensar has simply made it worse. Sadly anyone who challenges the status quo or tries to demonstrate a better business practice/innovation often gets sidelined unless it comes from the high ups. Extremely short sighted fiscal policy - Example: open a new office in Pioneer square and give hundreds of thousands in raises to top leadership in Jan-April; lay off 35 people in August of the same year, less than 4 months later. There is no budgeting, there are almost no actual fiscal policies that are enforced/enforceable. Managers are all silo'd and fight for their own fiefdoms. They talk a good game, but they don't deliver.

Pros

There are a few really good people there, but trust me they are all looking to leave.

Cons

This company only cares about profit, you are just a number. They excuse and normalize bad behavior, people (mostly men) who are friends with the founders get away with horrific behavior and are never held accountable. Some people have received large raises, while others are still waiting, only to be told now things are frozen due to layoffs. An exodus is coming and they don't even care, so long as they get their compensation packages. They take pride in paying people (especially women and minorities) less, and nepotism and favoritism are always factors in who keeps their jobs and who doesn't. The recent layoffs demonstrate that. The only thing that matters are utility rates and gross margin, and who you are buddies with. The agency bro culture is real here. They overwork the delivery teams, and sales teams underperform, and throw delivery teams under the bus but never lose their jobs, the talented people do. Leadership is so checked out and pretty tone deaf, most managers have never had any leadership or real work experience outside of Indigo Slate. Gaslighting people is common, and toxic behavior is allowed to fester until it is unmanageable. Leadership doesn't see a problem when they announce their promotions on LinkedIn while the people actually doing the work, and being underpaid are still waiting for pay raises. In general, the leadership team lacks any ability to make the tough decisions that need to happen to turn this company around. Sadly the negative reviews for Indigo Slate are 100% true and the positive reviews are planted. I think someone said "souls come here to die" I laughed out loud when I read it because it's so true and very sad.
