Pros

Most of the people in the Cape Town office are actually genuine and good. The company has a unique value proposition and ample opportunity for success, if only they could cultivate their employees to reach those goals.

Cons

Extremely poor Leadership Inappropriate comments and derogatory language towards certain groups Unfair labour practices Direction changes at a whim Bullying Unprofessional Horrible company culture Hire and fire mentality Zero transparency and fairness If they don't like you, you will get worked out Do not genuinely care about people Unfair treatment unless you are one of the favorites Just doing your job well is not enough, you need to play a very big politics game You can't make any suggestions on improvements They say they want to hire the best people, they just want robots who don't ask questions Never felt so worthless in any company

Thank you for sharing your open and honest feedback with us, both positive and negative. We are pleased that you have enjoyed collaborating with your colleagues and that you believe in our mission. We are sorry to hear that you have felt that your development has not aligned with our company goals. We are a fast-paced and scaling company which is exciting, but that does bring the challenge of change - central to our values at IDR. We appreciate that change can be difficult, we have recently implemented a new performance management initiative which should allow for continued growth and development of our employees, who are central to our success. We have a zero tolerance to any form of discrimination and urge you to contact the people team in complete confidence to discuss this further - people@idrgroup.com

Pros

IDR is a smaller firm but rapidly scaling around the world. I love the diversity of thought and people at the firm, and the global nature of the company. Although my peers sit all around the world, I still feel a sense of closeness and camaraderie with them. Feedback is implemented quickly and my voice is heard. Coming from a large institution, these were all things I was seeking in my next role and IDR certainly fulfills these ideals. Working from home is also a huge benefit.

Cons

Have seen a decent amount of turnover since arriving, but we seem to be replacing them with the right people now. Lots of new hires also means more people working on the same hours as me in my country.
