Pros

I was one of the first employees at iDashboards. It was an exciting time and held a lot of promise. Unfortunately due to poor management and very bad decisions, the company is now failing.

Cons

The CEO is a well intentioned individual but has absolutely no idea how to run any company especially a software company. If there was a right way to accomplish something, he did it wrong every single time in spite of very sound advice from an experienced management team. It will go down as a very good idea with the worst execution I have ever seen. The entire Sr. Sales staff has left and the fate of iDashboards is sealed. It's unfortunate.

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review - we appreciate your feedback, however I would have to disagree with your statement regarding "there is no hope". iDashboards is in a growing phase and we have a lot of excitement surrounding our new and improved sales team and sales processes. We are all looking forward to the much anticipated launch of V9.5 (June of 2017). We are hiring in many departments including development, sales, marketing and technical services. I hope this helps with any misunderstanding there may be as to the current status at iDashboards.

Pros

I worked two different roles at iDashboards, and always knew what was expected of me. Management was respectful and thoughtful. It was a positive experience.

Cons

Defining an overall direction of the company was tough while I was there, but that has since been solved.

Pros

The company truly cares about work/life balance. Very flexible on WFH, employees going back to school, needing to pick up kids from daycare early, etc. A great place to learn about the industry. Everyone is helpful and wants to see you succeed. The technical teams are outstanding. Low turnover, smart people, clients love them. Many changes over the years but they have been in the best interest of the company. Just roll with them. Great people work here. It is never a drag to go into the office. HR plans a lot of fun team building activities, lunches, holiday celebrations that everyone enjoys.

Cons

Low base pay on the sales team causes high turnover. This could be fixed with a higher base or better commission structure. There were was a group of negative people there at one time (most are gone - and honestly they are the type that aren't happy at any job). If you work hard and ignore it you will be fine. Development NEEDS a change. The product lacks innovation and is not keeping up with competition. One person should not be allowed to say and do whatever they feel like without any checks/balances. CEO is a great person who cares about his employees but unfortunately seems to be more reactive than proactive when it comes to product enhancements.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate the feedback and would like to take the time to respond to a few points in particular: Pay: iDashboards offers employees generous/marketable compensation packages. We are continuously reviewing our comp packages to confirm they are competitive and fair. Development: We have a lot of excitement surrounding our software development - with the upcoming release of 9.5 and the addition of personnel resources on the development team.
