Pros

The Interviewers very passionate about their roles and their positions within the company.

Cons

I applied for this role in August and after having an initial conversation with the Talent Acquisition Business Partner, I was escalated to an interview in early September. I really enjoyed the interview and it was clear how passionate the interviewers were. My understanding was that this would escalate into a 2-stage interview and this would be held at the end of September. I have constantly had to chase the Talent Acquisition Business Partner for feedback on the 1st interview and what would happen in terms of next steps. After 6 emails, I have had only 1 response to say that further feedback would need to be sought. It's such a shame as this sounded like a great company to work for, but leaving candidates in the dark about what the next steps are, or in fact having no communication at all, doesn't leave a good impression when it comes to the business.

Pros

It used to be great but has lost its way unfortunately. Still lots of opportunities to learn, and they hire great people to work with. They're also pretty flexible around working patterns, and the workers on the teams create a good culture. You can take on work to challenge yourself (but that can also turn into a con).

Cons

They don't seem to value retention or see much value in keeping existing employees. You can be asked to do the work of a grade you do not have for a long time, and due to inflexibility around reviews they often fall behind market average pay. No negotiation on salary either, and because of all of this their retention rate is not good so knowledge and skill leaves the company.

We operate an IRIS-wide annual salary review each autumn with uses external benchmarking data and evidence-led processes to ensure fair and equitable pay that is in line with market rates. We’re also delighted to offer all permanent employees an annual bonus entitlement. We’re also delighted to operate a variety of recognition schemes such as our weekly Thank You Thursdays to encourage teams to recognise each other, our CEO shout outs to our #IRISHeros each week, our IMPACT Awards and Top Talent Awards, which show everyone how much they mean to us. We also provide a varied UK benefits package that employees can tailor each year to suit their changing needs and a wealth of developmental opportunities such as Apprenticeships, Masterships and free learning courses.
