Pros
Opportunity to travel. Remote work possibilities.
Cons
Everything else. It would be a disservice to any new prospective employee to not give an adequate evaluation of this company. This company provides absolutely no training. Your job is to seem as if you know what you are doing. IDTechEx barely knows what market research is... they think that it is just forming an opinion about the potential of a market...Quite frankly your job is to BS and make a sale. At this company you will gain no marketable skills that will make you competitive in the job market... at least as an Analyst. IDTechEx is similar to the company Markets and Markets. They aspire to be like IHS Markit, Deloitte, Mckinsey and company... etc. but never will. They would need to hire people from business backgrounds and the consultants would need to have extensive industry experience... and not mere academic research experience... Turnover is high, morale is low. You can trust no one at this company as everyone is in competition. Promises are broken. There is no accountability. They themselves a 'market research' company enter new markets without researching such markets... It’s a joke. It is not real and in the long run this job will not help your career. For prospective employees I would recommend that you research similar companies to IDTechEx and compare the qualifications to each other. At IHS Markit the typical consultant has 6-8 years of industry experience at IDTechEx you don’t need industry experience...They hire naive kids who think that they have hit the jackpot but, they are truly entering chaos. This company has been around for nearly 20 years, yet their growth is minimal. Do your research, listen to your mentors. Don’t fall prey to this company. Much better is out there. Also pay is terrible... or more so there is no standard.
