Former Employee – worked at IDC (International Data Corporation) full-time for more than 7 years

ProsThe company is not particularly demanding of its employees. There are no formal performance metrics or time sheets. In other words there is no way for your manager to formerly evaluate how you spend your time.

ConsIf you want to deliver value for customers, innovate and be passionate about your work, drive results, or be remunerated fairly for successes, this is not the company for you.

Advice to Senior ManagementA whole management make-over.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
