International Data Group – “IDG, a very solid employer

Jun 11, 2008

5.0

International Data Group Senior Softare Developer in Framingham, MA:   (Current Employee)

Pros

It is a great company and people are very very professional and friendly. It still has a small company field because it is decentralized, so as a techie you get to be involved with a wide range of technologies and business problems. I actually really enjoy my job for the first time. One reason for this is I finally have lots more work to keep me busy. Ice cream truck comes during the summer and is free. Pool table downstairs. The job is not in Boston so there's parking and you have a reverse commute -- less traffic.

Cons

Downsides are few. I'm having trouble finding anything bad to say.

Advice to Senior Management

The problem with all tech employers is that it's always better for employees to jump ship to make more money or get advancement in their careers. Also the program in CIO.com to have employees enjoy profits from their business ideas is a great leap forward. I think all employers should have such a program. I look forward to that program's success. Employees really should enjoy the profit from their contributions in a fair way. Success should be shared, and this promotes hard working employees with numerous profitable ideas. Lunacy that other employers don't do this. Absolute lunacy.
