Pros

A lot has changed at iDashboards since last fall, all of which is positive. Here are some of the major changes: 1. The biggest thing is that now everyone sells every product. This is a huge change that will help provide better customer service and increase sales from the whole sales team. 2. New Director of Enterprise Sales that has reorganized the team and made sure that all territories and opportunities are completely fair across the board. 3. New Director of Marketing who is working on a consistent message and redesigning the web site. 4. Great new product features in the last upgrade including HTML5 for mobile platforms. 5. New comp structure for sales with a clearly defined growth path, stock options, and expected income spelled out in writing. The new plan is easy to understand and it's nice to know the path of success. All the other stuff that gets listed as a pro (great work atmosphere, flexibility, ping pong, etc) are all still part of the culture, but a lot of the negative stuff has been fixed.

Cons

Sometimes too many meetings with too little content. Use SharePoint to communicate the message.

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.
