Pros

The only pro that I can think about iDashboards is the coffee machine.

Cons

Poor management period. Very high attrition levels at iDashboards is indicative of poor management. The word "MICROMANAGEMENT" has a whole different meaning at iDashboards. The iDashboards product is hard to sell, especially against Tableau because Tableau has more useful features and is continuously investing in improving their product. iDashboards is stuck with very limited number of features and lot of features are repetitions of the same function. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! No opportunity for growth. As mentioned in my previous post, most people last for about less than a year. Ask this question during the interview - HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE JOINED IDASHBOARDS IN THE PAST YEAR AND HOW MANY LEFT? If answered truly, the number will baffle you. If you do not have any other choice, make sure you accept a higher salary (atleast 40-50% higher than their first offer) and keep looking for a better place. Remember, it is hard for this company to find new employees in the Detroit area, mainly because of their track record. So, you have a upper hand during salary negotiation.

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.
