Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Ideagen has nearly 1,400 employees globally, many of whom came to us through acquisitions and continue to grow and flourish with the business. And that number is increasing in many of our key locations which include the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Malaysia and India. We acquire a business because we believe in the company, its people, products and what it can do to support regulated and high-compliance industries turn risk into resilience and create a safer world. We work with an acquired businesses’ leadership team to agree long-term ambitions, investing in additional roles and technology, reducing duplication and leveraging our global footprint to better support customers. Sometimes we have to make difficult decisions. If that happens we make sure we treat colleagues impacted respectfully, informing them as early as possible, trying to find them suitable alternative work and providing outplacement support to ensure they have support to find alternative careers.

Pros

Good PTO and flexible schedule.

Cons

Poor compensation, disorganized upper management that has little understanding of the work engineering teams are doing, owned by private equity only concerned with their bottom line and not the well-being of company/employees, the list goes on and on.
