Pros

- IDEX has one of the best/smoothest employee on-boarding processes I've ever seen, even for remote employees. - Benefits are good. - Communication from corporate is generally good. - They still have a lot of knowledgeable and competent employees. - Get to work on some very well known & reputable brands and products.

Cons

- Pay is below industry average. - The executive suite is a revolving door. Turnover, at least in the Fire & Safety division, was very high at the director level and above. - The "loudest voices" in division management are completely incompetent. Corporate executives seem oblivious to this. - IDEX grows through acquisitions and invests little to nothing in the businesses they acquire. Corporate seems to be trying to realign things a little better but it's slow and their can be some "in fighting" between different brands within the same division. - Has a global reputation for delivering poorly engineered products. Engineering is considered a "waste of time" by management. Too much reliance on outside contractors. Not enough investment in internal engineering teams.
