Pros

Cutting edge software, with some flagship projects, which are market leaders in various markets. This makes IRIS resilient in current climate. Some amazing people and the chance to really make a difference and influence the organisation. IRIS is very welcoming, inclusive and embraces diversity, and has a variety of support groups and forums.

Cons

Very fast moving environment and high expectations.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted that you recognise our extensive range of market-leading products that have made IRIS into a resilient business. Our sustainable and uninterrupted growth is shaped by our continued investment into our fantastic employees and excellent products. We’re proud to be an inclusive employer, welcoming a diverse workforce into the IRIS family and creating opportunities for employees to lead the conversations around equality through our Belonging Group and Women into Leadership programme. We recognise that IRIS can be a fast-paced organisation and we constantly work hard to communicate our goals and strategy to our employees so that we can #MakeItHappen together. We establish our objectives and share our plans on a regular basis, through priorities for the financial year, departmental goals for each function, and individual or team objectives so that at every level we are making an #IMPACT. We're constantly looking to develop and support our colleagues in Finance and Legal through ongoing continuous professional development, with this month’s learning programme featuring Exchequer, and supporting professional development via apprenticeships and professional qualifications. We also have a strong Employee Voice Ambassador group in the Finance and Legal team, who collect employee feedback and enact positive change by sharing improvements directly with the HR Director and Chief Financial Officer. In the last 12 months, we’ve also been delighted to have hired 28 fantastic new employees into our UK Finance department, growing the size of the team to over 80 colleagues. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please speak to your HR representative or leave a comment in our next Peakon survey. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

Salary wasn’t bad but commision is possibly the worst you’ll get.

Cons

They have a few routes for progression but I have seen some great staff not be put forward as the whole business revolves around if the directors like you. They are in the office about 3 times a year?

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Along with our competitive salaries, which are externally benchmarked and decided through fair and consistent processes, we’re proud to reward our fantastic salespeople with a comprehensive commission scheme. Our competitive commission plans support employees through monthly payments, set monthly and quarterly quotas, and enables our salespeople the chance to earn up to 200% of commission when they achieve their target. We set targets and commission at stretching but achievable levels and we are pleased that the majority of our sales teams achieve their targets and receive regular commission payments. We’re also delighted to operate a range of other incentives throughout the year to reward consistency of achievement, such as running a recognition award for our highest performing salespeople each quarter with one of the prizes being the chance to win a Mini, as well as inviting our Elite Club on luxury trips to places like Las Vegas. We’re very proud to support our salespeople’s growth and progression. We provide dedicated personal performance coaching for our salespeople so that they can develop their skills, learn different products, and grow their careers. For example, we hold regular continuous professional development sessions such as our Neurolinguistic Programming courses and promote our Showpad tool, which provides instant information on our products, services and process. Employees in the early part of their career are regularly assessed and promoted depending on their performance to further their sales careers. We’re excited to have recently launched our career framework, which provides employees with clear paths for progression and lateral moves. We also advertise all our vacancies internally and encourage employees to apply. We’re delighted that through Peakon, our employee engagement platform, our employees in the Sales department agree that they are growing professionally, scoring IRIS 8.4 out of 10 for progression, which is higher than comparable organisations. The Commercial Leadership team are heavily invested in the success of IRIS and each individual. This is demonstrated by making themselves personally available to employees to help support getting deals over the line or available for a chat when they are in our Manchester office. We also provide our sales teams with performance mindset coaches and nutritionists, support increased movement and activity in the working day, offer great incentives, and give everyone the opportunity to maximise their earnings. In the wider organisation, we’re also delighted to have been Great Place to Work-Certified™ for the 3rd year running, based on our employees’ anonymous feedback about IRIS in an independent survey conducted by Great Place To Work®. From the survey results, we achieved a higher Trust score than the UK’s Best Workplaces average in the Super-Large category. To build trust with our employees, we host monthly company updates, where the Executive team and senior leaders share recent achievements, upcoming events and processes, as well as communicate our global objectives and plans for success. We know that our employees are at the heart of what we do, and we will continue to delight them and build #1RIS. We’re sorry to hear that this hasn’t been your experience, and would encourage you to reach out to our HR Director for Commercial, Kerry McAtkin, so that we can help put things right. 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
