What our employees say
Ramon Llamas
Research Director
What has been the most unique experience or day you’ve had at IDC?
Presenting at Directions. It’s a lot more than just going up on stage and talking through 15 – 20 slides in 35 minutes. The preparation, rehearsal, and delivery all take on a life of their own the closer we get to Directions, and everything gets magnified 100x when you’re on the main stage. I’ll say this much though: it’s also one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve had.

What has helped make you successful at IDC?
IDC offers many opportunities for career development. I was lucky enough to be selected for the Mentor Program during my first year of employment.

I was lucky enough to be partnered with a wonderful mentor, and she continues to be a key part of my daily life at IDC, for guidance and as a sounding board for new ideas, even after 10+ years.
