Pros

Great colleagues and office space. Team leads and lower management are making great improvements. The office culture has improved significantly in my time. Opportunities for innovation are increasing and there is dedicated time for learning and applying new tech. Challenging tasks are always present for the determined.

Cons

Salaries. This is clearly a budget allocation issue from the higher levels, as achievement is recognised by lower management but often with a shrug as to what will happen in regards to recognition. We've struggled to retain good staff due to difficulties in cultural transitions and engineering expectations from other departments, as the sales team have dominated this tech company. IRIS does tend to feel like an acquisitions firm, rather than a cohesive structure but within the smaller settings such as the Leeds office, many are open and friendly.

Thanks so much for your review! We’re really glad you can see all the fantastic changes and initiatives we're running to ensure that IRIS is a Great Place to Work. Our annual salary review process is based on the foundation of treating employees fairly, and we included industry-wide salary benchmarking for all employees as part of our 2019 process for the first time. We have also put in place published salary bandings across relevant departments to ensure our pay practices are competitive and it’s clear for employees how they can progress within the organisation. We also offer a fantastic flexible benefits package, including bonuses (where applicable), our IMPACT Awards, free private healthcare, life insurance, income protection, 26 days annual holiday, 3 Giving Back Days and a host of other benefits to ensure our employees are well-looked after. We’re also passionate about all of our employees feeling part of #1IRIS, running monthly update sessions in each office, a regular employee newsletter and our IRIS mission, vision and values to unify everyone within the IRIS family. We really appreciate your feedback - if you have any additional comments or suggestions, please reach out to the HR team or contact EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

I have been with Iris for approximately 5 months and have been incredibly impressed. The people I work with from my peers, leadership (including executive leadership) and my team, are amazing. Building relationships has been easy as most of the employees are open to it, are very collaborative and genuinely want to help! Iris is also focused on equality and ensure we all have a fair opportunity for growth. While we have a lot to do here, it is clear that we are valued.

Cons

As a rapidly growing organization, we have some growing pains and some foundational processes, systems and flow that need to be updated and/or adjusted, but nothing that won't be fixed over time.
