Wondering why IDBS are recruiting...?

Pros

Good flexible hours. Most people are very nice and friendly, if a little stressed.

Cons

IDBS are recruiting because people are very unhappy and are leaving. nstead of addressing the real issues that are causing this they are sweeping all the problems under the rug, and reshuffling people. Don't believe the hype that comes out of the HR marketing machine. They ASK people to write positive reviews on Glassdoor to counteract all the bad ones. Just a little scratch at the surface shows all the reviews they're trying to hide. Avoid this company even if it's just for this display of dishonesty.

Thanks for your review and apologies for my late response. The second half of 2015 and the first half of 2016 saw loads of change within IDBS in terms of our structure and how we work and I hope you will agree that these changes have been for the better - both for the business and for the great people who work at IDBS. If you have some recommendations for more improvements then please share these with your line manager or a member of the HR team. We do listen and value your opinions as I believe we genuinely all want the same thing - a great and successful business to work in where we are able to do our best work and learn every day.

Pros

Nice people to work with on the ground with a family feeling, good size company

Cons

The products are bulky and behind the times in the industry, they are fighting a hard battle to catch up. Management neglect skilled valuable employees, there is a distinct lack of recognition from the management structure. Lots of leavers in recent years and mostly skilled workers. The current recruitment campaign is not through growth but through loss of employees. HR have actively asked previous employees they “select” to write good reviews on this website.

Thanks for your review and apologies for my late response. As a former employee you may not be aware of the progress we made in 2016 with exciting and innovative product developments that have been embraced by our customers. Our leadership structure changed during 2016 and we have a strong focus on high performance at all levels - this includes from the leadership team! Yes, like every business we've lost some valued employees who we would prefer not to have lost but we've also brought some great talent into IDBS at all levels of the business to complement our teams. I hope you continue to watch our progress with interest and can say you were proud to have once been a part of IDBS.

Pros

Not much to say in regards to pros. IDBS is a one product company and they do not seem likely to develop a family of products. At best they will be bought out someday but no one other than a select few will benefit from that as they only offer stock options to a very select group of employees.

Cons

You will work very hard under challenging circumstances. Most work is repetitive in that it is reactionary work to one crisis after another, often of their own doing because they can never get ahead of the work they want to achieve. The other big con is that even though they are a small company they are over 25 years old with many in the leadership having spent their entire career at IDBS. Many of the leaders do not know any better ways of doing business. While they will listen to those with experience they do not let those people run with new ideas. You essentially get "Thanks for the input, let me think about it"

I'm sorry that when you left IDBS it seems you weren't very happy. Since your review was posted we have progressed significantly as a business and we've certainly made lots of changes. We have a balance of leaders who bring innovative and different experiences and those who have deep knowledge of IDBS and our customers - I think this is a positive thing but sometimes I agree we need to embrace new ideas and make decisions faster. It's about taking measured business decisions but ensuring we always focus on positive outcome for our customers. Hopefully you continue to watch our progress with interest.
