Pros

Innovative products for secure payments and access control. Collegial environment at the engineering levels.

Cons

Unstable company, no significant revenue since founding in 1997. Heavily dependent on investors and therefore management does their bidding. Shut down US operations , with little warning, to cut costs, but next generation products with lower cost will now be delayed, yet cost of the products is one factor inhibiting the market from taking off. Chief Commercial Officer over-promises on revenue and doesn’t deliver, but is paid over $400K annually and didn’t take a pay cut when other management did (including CEO). CTO, based in UK, isan empire builder and preserved jobs for his UK colleagues while laying off all US employees. Difficult to have an impact on company and engineering decisions despite being a small company.

IDEX Biometrics Response

We are very sorry to hear that your tenure at IDEX Biometrics has not been a more positive experience for you. Our recent decision to close our U.S. offices has been a very difficult one, and is not something we have taken lightly. However, as a Norwegian company with key investors in Europe, we feel it is the right approach for us to centralize our engineering operations within the European region. This is not based on personal preference of any individual member of the leadership team, but upon solid business rationale. We must also state that the comments you have provided here regarding salaries are inaccurate and misleading. With IDEX Pay and IDEX Access, we have strong competitive platforms in the market. The increasing need for better security solutions is expected to drive the opportunity for biometric smart cards at scale. IDEX is committed to propelling this market together with our strong card manufacturing partners and by leveraging our implementation programs, reaching various segments of these massive populations in our target markets. We believe that this market positioning, coupled with our recent organizational changes, positions IDEX in a strong position for market success. Again, it is extremely regrettable to us that we have had to lose anyone from the IDEX team, and we sincerely wish you all the best for your future.
