Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are particularly surprised and disappointed by your comments regarding discrimination. We have zero tolerance towards discrimination or bullying of any kind and would strongly encourage you to reach out to our Chief People Officer, in confidence or to any member of the HR team. We take the opinions of all our employees seriously and want to be able to address your concerns and put things right. We also work hard to ensure that our managers are equipped with the tools needed to unlock their team’s potential and inspire motivation and development. In the last 12 months, we are delighted to have trained over 100 manager and leaders through our Managing and Leading with IMPACT programmes, which builds their skills and covers the day-to-day practicalities of management through workshops on giving feedback, emotional intelligence, coaching, effective management, and goal setting. We strongly value employee feedback and are delighted to empower employees to share their feedback with us through our engagement survey tool, Peakon, which gives everyone the opportunity to send suggestions directly to managers to support planning and prioritising workloads effectively. However, we know there is always more we can do and are committed to encouraging continuous feedback and engaging with employee’s comments. Through Peakon, managers have made over 46,000 comment interactions with employees, which enables both bottom-up and top-down communication. We’re delighted that you recognise our fantastic benefits on offer, we are very proud of our generous package available to UK employees, which includes our electric car scheme, Simplyhealth cashback plan, and discounted gym-memberships. We also offer flexible working patterns, including remote, hybrid, part-time and term-time working, which enables our employees to achieve a work-life balance that best suits their needs. To further promote work-life balance, we also encourage our UK employees to use their Giving Back Days, which are 3 fully paid days off work to support their local community and make a difference. We are 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 leave a comment in our next Peakon survey. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

- People are really friendly and the company is very inclusive (a lot more female developers and QA than other companies for example) - Easy to progress - Good opportunities to grow and learn - Can have a modern tech stack in some products - Great work/life balance - Remote work and very flexible

Cons

- Very heavy on the hierarchy, sometimes it feels like there are too many managers - Product indecision and lack of direction at times - Promotions take a long time to take effect, especially if you miss the period

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted that you recognise the fantastic people at IRIS who are celebrated for bringing their true selves to work. We’re truly proud to create an inclusive working environment, our Belonging Group holds monthly calls to focus on specific topics, share ideas and experiences and provide networking opportunities. We’re also particularly proud to promote and encourage more women into tech, with 46.5% of the IRIS population being women, and support their development. We are constantly reviewing our processes between Engineering and Product. From our Great Place to Work survey, our Engineering and Product Heads of Function have listened to our employees feedback and are looking to consolidate and review this to ensure the communication stream is as effective as possible. We have now set up an Engineering Newsletter where we will share higher level Product celebrations across the whole department which should also impact the communication aspect within the department. In the last 4 months, we were also delighted to celebrate 5 promotions and role changes across the Software Production function. 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
