Pros

Flexible working hours, genuinely remote work. You can work from the beach if you want! My last job made me commute 4 hrs a day every day which meant long hours. Good work life balance here. I expect to be set targets at work. I have always felt supported and encouraged to reach my full potential. J. Harrop managed the analyst team from 2012 until end of 2020. I attended presentations and masterclasses given by him on behalf of IDTechEx during that time and I have read his market research reports. He has management experience and knows about what the company does in depth. He has recently stepped back in to manage the team. The company socials are fantastic and help with team building. Colleagues are hard working and friendly. Talented people are recognised. Good pension and medical benefits. All expenses paid travel. Good bonuses.

Cons

Remote work can be isolating. Need to be self motivated and disciplined.

Pros

Nice people. Friendly teams. Great way for new graduates to gain commercial experience and make contacts in industry. I worked at IDTechEx for seven years. When I joined, Dr. Harrop was managing the analyst team and he continued in that role for many years. Therefore, any claim that he lacks experience managing the team or does not understand the responsibilities of the role is incorrect. Over time, Dr. Harrop has personally undertaken every aspect of the position himself. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the company and greatly value the skills and experience I gained there. I progressed quickly within the organisation, eventually managing my own team before leaving to pursue a role in industry.

Cons

Tight deadlines and working remotely can be hard for some.

Pros

- Strong work-from-home culture with real flexibility, not just on paper - Flexible working hours make it easy to balance work and personal life - High level of trust from management to get your job done - No micromanagement — focus is on results, not clock-watching - Supportive and approachable leadership team - Open communication and transparency across teams - Collaborative, respectful work environment - Colleagues are helpful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with - Employees are given ownership and autonomy in their roles - Good work is recognized and appreciated - Healthy work-life balance is genuinely encouraged - Clear expectations without unnecessary pressure - Positive company culture that values people, not just output - Opportunities to learn and grow through hands-on experience - Freedom to manage your workload in a way that works best for you - Opportunities to travel the world! All expenses paid. I've been to Thailand, Singapore, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Australia, USA, and many European countries thanks to IDTechEx, - Please don't believe all negative reviews. Yes we did go through a tough round of redundancies like most companies did last year. We made the difficult choice to lose some excellent people and we made sure they were looked after. People are fast to drop negative reviews and as an employee working here nearly 7 years, I can comfortably say it's been the best 7 years here.

Cons

- Working from home may not be suitable for everyone.
