Employees at IDC Market Research appreciate the flexible work environment, with the ability to work from home or in the office, as well as the global exposure and opportunity to work with colleagues from around the world. They also highlight the friendly co-workers, learning opportunities, and the fact that the company rewards and appreciates staff for their hard work.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as the need to be a fast learner with attention to detail in a fast-paced environment. There are also concerns about management being out of touch with reality and trying to emulate top consulting firms without understanding how to do so. Additionally, the standards and expectations can be quite high and at times unachievable, and some reviewers mentioned having to work under tight deadlines. The location of the office was also noted as a potential challenge by one reviewer.
