Pros

- Some people are nice - OK if you need initial experience as a starter job - The cons unfortunately outweigh any minute pros.

Cons

IRIS is a badly run organisation with terrible management. This company has so much money, yet they are extremely tight and pay as little as possible. That’ll be part of the reason for the extremely high turnover rate…the other reasons are the lack of career progression, and the awful way senior members of staff speak down to colleagues. I’ve witnessed swearing, seen employees been bullied and belittled and overall have been astonished that these attitudes are allowed to pass. I left IRIS because of these reasons, and I wouldn’t even think of coming back in the future. If you are young, I wouldn’t recommend working here. They will abuse your good nature and make you work unpaid overtime, with no thanks given at the end of it.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We have zero tolerance towards bullying of any kind and are surprised and disappointed by your comments. We sincerely ask you to reach out to Stephanie Kelly, our Chief People Officer, in complete confidence, so that we can put things right. We pride ourselves on being a supportive and inclusive culture and train all our managers to reflect our values and take any instances where someone has fallen short of our high standards very seriously. Additionally, paying our employees fairly and competitively for their hard work is of the upmost importance to us, and we're delighted to be officially recognised as a Real Living Wage employer. On top of this, we run an annual salary review process, offer pay scales in select departments to automatically reward employees when they hit career milestones, provide bonus and commission schemes where eligible, and provide a generous benefits, holiday and charitable volunteering package to all UK employees. Also, providing all employees with the chance to grow their career is very important to us, and we're proud to offer internal promotions, regular training courses, and development activities. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please reach out to the HR team or email 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.
