Pros

I worked at Ideagen for many years and always found the people to be the best part of the job — talented, friendly, and genuinely committed to building quality software in the GRC space. The products make a real difference, and flexible working was a definite plus.

Cons

In recent years there’s been a lot of change. Many technical roles have been moved offshore, and most developer positions now seem to be based in Asia or India. While this may align with company strategy, it’s reduced opportunities for UK-based developers and affected team morale. Communication during restructuring could sometimes have been clearer, but there’s still a strong foundation of skilled people and good intentions. With more transparency and a balanced approach to resourcing across regions, Ideagen could regain much of what made it such a rewarding place to work.

Pros

Good PTO and flexible schedule.

Cons

Poor compensation, disorganized upper management that has little understanding of the work engineering teams are doing, owned by private equity only concerned with their bottom line and not the well-being of company/employees, the list goes on and on.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that parts of your experience haven’t met your expectations. On compensation, we regularly benchmark roles using external market data to help ensure we remain competitive and fair across regions and disciplines. We know how important pay and progression are to our colleagues, and we continue to review and evolve our approach over time. You also raised concerns around leadership and wellbeing. While we understand experiences can vary, supporting our colleagues is a priority, and we offer a wide range of benefits and resources designed to support wellbeing both inside and outside of work. We are always looking at how we strengthen this further as we grow. Thank you again for sharing your perspective. Feedback like this helps us continue to improve how we support our teams.
