Ideon Technologies Response
2yThanks for your comments and recommendations -- and the hard work you did while at Ideon through our earliest days. We know that the value proposition of working with a start-up is different from that of a large, established company. The experience of building a company from scratch together is a professional development opportunity unlike any other and does require comfort with bold aspirations as well as some ambiguity. That's definitely not for everyone.
For candidates considering Ideon, the following context may be useful. Check out our Careers page for more at https://ideon.ai/careers/ :
* Scaling a company dramatically (we've doubled in size over the last 6 months) does often require bringing in external talent. When we do this, we see the opportunity for mentorship to help current employees expand their career potential, access extra capacity and more robust feedback loops, and establish more robust career pathing.
* Ideon offers access to professional development opportunities such as tuition and accreditation support, as well as access to conferences, online learning, and learning from colleagues. Our employees are asked to identify desired activities in the three Es (education, exposure, experience) for their development plans.
* The Ideon salary scale is directly informed by third-party survey data gathered for/by technology companies in BC's lower mainland. We also offered one of the highest cost-of-living adjustments in the region to reflect inflation last year.
* Ideon offers a Employee Share Ownership Program (ESOP) that includes both early ownership options (which begin vesting on day one for new hires) as well as annual allocations based on company and personal performance. This program is designed to ensure employees can enjoy the results of the value they create while they are working with us.
