Flexible and Interesting but lack of innovation
|
|
Very flexible company and easy going staff. A lot of room to learn and grow into different positions in the company. The concept is also great.
|
The management and board are from a corporate background rather than tech/innovation so they don't think outside the box and are slow to implement new ideas.

On balance, a good place to work
|
|
• Flat hierarchy
• Significant responsibility given to employees
• Opportunities to travel
• Opportunity to be part of the future of how people work and companies innovate
• Exposure to the cutting edge of a range of industries
• Relaxed, flexible and open work environment
• Great team that you can learn from
• Some opportunities for career progression
The company has changed a lot over the past couple of years – for the better, in my opinion. It has become a leaner and more efficient organization that is more data driven and more open to new ideas.
|
• Some roles can become a little dull and repetitive in the long run
• Opportunities for professional development are there but not always proactively offered
• Leadership lacking in some areas of the business
• Still some resistance to new ideas and change

Take time to listen to the feedback, experiences and wants of employees. Make sure they are offered sufficient guidance and motivation through realistic targets. Bring in technology and automation to support employees and remove mundane tasks.

Good concept for a product and solid network of solvers. Lots of value add within the vertical spaces that are the historical background of the company.
|
Board is dysfunctional, changing directions and watering down the organizational focus to too many different offerings in order to try and "win" across a lot of different markets. No focus,

Change the members of the board. Hire a real leader/CEO for the organization instead of the part time CEO in place for several years. Focus on the core strengths of the company instead of attempting to make money with every possible sidetrack.

Great company for early exposure but limited growth opportunities
|
|
- good early exposure with clients. Immediately given roles in leading and delivering, and don't spend months just shadowing and doing grunt work
- relaxed office atmosphere and flexible working
- good international travel to clients
- interesting projects - from cutting edge science to working with charities on major global issues.
|
- work structure and project delivery becomes very repetitive following near identical plans for each Challenge and overall project. After you've done a few, it can get quite dull.
- linked with this, there are very few growth opportunities in the company and with a flat hierarchy, it has led to a proportion of staff leaving after two/three years.

InnoCentive has gone though a major improvement of products as reflected by the latest Forrester Report and enhanced web presence. With renewed emphasis on the commercial marketplace, InnoCentive has landed several new Fortune 1000 clients in US and Europe.
|
The innovation management markets have grown slower than many predicted, but InnoCentive is growing again.

Not much. Flexible schedule is the only pro and some of the people who are really smart. Salary is good especially for those who have been asked to stay on to avoid having the ship completely sink to the bottom.
|
Absolutely zero leadership. InnoCentive has had a remote CEO since 2006 and it shows. There's no vision or strategy for the future of the company. The course of the company is determined by gut feeling, opinions from poor performers who are sucking the power teet, rather than by hard market or customer data. Products and services are sub-par at best. And the entire partner ecosystem is null and void. The problem now is that the company is so far gone, it's literally holding on tight, surviving and hoping for the best outcome

Good pay, poor culture
|
|
The best reasons to work here are solely the pay scale, which is very competitive.
|
For a company centered on innovation they are slow, inflexible and haven't innovated themselves in over a decade. Innocentive has roots in engineering and science, and though the market has moved away from them they have not been able to keep up. The office is stale and depressing, which contributes to this rut they are stuck in.

Interesting company, open innovation leader, lacks vision
|
|
The best part about working at this company is the flexibility of your schedule and having the opportunity to work with many clients on Challenging problems. Incredibly smart employees but the company can't seem to keep them.
|
Lacks stability. Poor benefits and compensation. No room for career growth or increased compensation. Company is concerned only with its bottom line, not with the morale of its employees or career development.

Put a little more faith in your employees, don't forget everyone working here makes the company run. With so few people every employee has huge responsibility. Less micro-managing and more strategic direction. Having a CEO that showed up occasionally would be nice too.
