Idera, Inc. reviews

Everything, while working there myself and everyone experiences abuse - unless you are one of their prize ponies. There is a handful, probably not many anymore, that get to do what ever they want; work from home, straight up steal a deal from the rest, and get double the territory and accounts, but are not held to the daily metrics like the rest. The rest get shamed and threatened if not 100 dials, and exceeding the rest of their worthless metrics. Call blitzes weekly, with zero thought or consideration that these people just got over 15 emails and calls from us just last week. Customers, the poor customers, much like the employees are lied to and screwed over. Out of integrity and not being able to put my name behind IDERA - it was a no brainer to leave. If you’ve read this, PLEASE don’t take it as one disgruntled former employee - you will so regret ever ever working there. You and all that remain there except the management deserve better. Management is a soul sucker and verbally abusive. You’re threatened daily and lied to. They are the worst!! They would not be a manager anywhere else, one molecule away from physically being a steaming turd.

Let's be clear about the game plan here or what is repeatedly referred to as "the Idera model". They want to provide good enough software with the absolute most basic level of customer support possible. When you're company is acquired by Idera they immediately begin the cost cutting exercise. Can't fault them for that, but you probably won't like their approach. They set out to cull the employee base, but they don't lay most people off immediately unless local laws dictate ethical dismissal practice. They go through the process of icing you out slowly over a couple months to stoke fear and uncertainty so that you'll go get another job and they can avoid severance and unemployment costs. The Idera Model doesn't value the people that work there it serves only to create value for a handful of executives and shareholders. Randy Jacops tells you on day 1 that if they can hire someone from Upwork to do your job for $3/ hr that's what they're going to do. Believe him. You'll have to decide for yourself if the mystical Idera model will reward your hard work and effort over time. (Spoiler, it won't unless your name is Randy Jacops or a shareholder of Idera)
