Pros

Lots of growth in the company, with acquisitions occurring on a monthly basis. None of these are properly integrated, but that is the nature of the company.

Cons

Support functions such as Finance & HR are way too lean for a company of this size and complexity. They can't provide the appropriate level of support because they are pulled in 1000 directions, with not enough resources to cope with the endless acquisitions. IT systems are pretty cheap (ie your laptop) which is strange for an IT software company. Very top heavy management team, who want to sit in every meeting and make every decision, which slows things down.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re committed to continue making IRIS a Great Place to Work by investing in our staff, growing our teams, and creating a community of collaboration. We’re very proud to grow our IRIS family by acquiring fantastic and successful businesses with great people who enable us to provide a greater range of products to our customer base. We’ve refined our acquisitions and integration processes through experience and are proud to have a dedicated team within IRIS focused on welcoming new businesses into the IRIS family. This includes inviting them to our monthly Peakon surveys, global company updates, range of development programmes, and offering our fantastic benefits package for all UK employees. We’ve also been delighted to grow our HR and Finance teams globally to 151 employees, with 36 new members in the last 6 months. We recognise that IRIS is a fast-paced environment and we work very hard to promote a healthy work-life balance that genuinely encourages employees to take their annual holiday entitlement (26 days + up to 4 days carry/holiday buy for full-time UK employees). We’re delighted to have been recognised as a UK’s Best Workplace’s for Wellbeing for the second year running and are proud to encourage our employees to get involved in charitable giving. Our Giving Back Days are fully paid volunteering days that our employees can use to do good in their community, from litter picking and donating blood, to volunteering at a school or fundraising. In the last 12 months, over 400 days have been spend giving back. Employees who take 3 Giving Backs Days are entitled to have their birthday as paid holiday. We’re so pleased that our employees enjoy using these days to support their communities and charities, as well as reducing their stress and enjoying a great work-life balance. We really appreciate your feedback and encourage you to reach out to our Chief People Officer, Stephanie Kelly, in complete confidence so that we can understand your feedback in more detail. Kind regards, the HR team

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted that you recognise our fantastic work culture where we support and empower our employees to #MakeItHappen. We know our employees are at the heart of what we do, and we’re proud to offer a variety of opportunities to maximise their potential as well as place importance on trust and provide employees the tools they need to succeed. Since the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, we recognised the importance of bringing our employees back together in offices to socialise, hold in-person meetings, and celebrate a range of events. To support our UK employees whilst travelling for work, we have an extensive expense policy, where travel and accommodation costs are covered by the company. Providing our employees with the opportunity to travel is also in line with our work-life balance commitments, and we encourage our employees to use their paid Giving Back Days to support charities and causes close to their hearts. 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
