High-pressure environment with limited growth and poor work culture - Senior Engineer Quality Engineering Iris Software Employee Review

overall experience is challenging due to office politics, lack of transparency, and unhealthy work culture. Many online reviews do not reflect the ground reality, as reviews are often encouraged during onboarding and closely monitored. Office politics is very high, and growth is not purely performance-based Appreciation and visibility are biased, often favoring people from specific locations (especially Noida) or those close to management Work-life balance is poor; there are no clear boundaries, and people call directly without prior communication Excessive focus on creating reports and documentation rather than meaningful engineering or quality work High pressure with unrealistic expectations, especially when handling demanding clients Limited transparency in promotions, recognition, and decision-making Overall work culture feels unhealthy and stressful
