Pros

Good transparency from C-suite employees. Employees are given the freedom to be creative and the freedom to fail. We're empowered to take risks which allows us to learn and grow. Good employees take risks and make mistakes — great leaders allow them to. Career growth opportunities - lots of potential to get involved in additional projects Fast-paced environment Great people with fantastic levels of enthusiasm and passion Varied work with desktop & cloud (SaaS) products

Cons

Lockdown and restrictions have resulted in collaborating virtually, but hopefully, 2022 means more face-to-face collaboration!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted that you recognise our fantastic senior leadership and the trust we put in our employees to be #Innovative and have #Accountability. At IRIS, we are very proud of our supportive and collaborative culture to aid employees’ growth and development, offering a range of promotions, secondments, role changes, apprenticeships and qualifications. We are also delighted to run our annual High Potential Programme to give our employees opportunities to progress their careers with us, through networking sessions, webinars, and other development activities. Employee feedback is very important to us, and we encourage our employees to use our immediate feedback tool, Peakon, to share their ideas and concerns with managers and senior leaders in real time. We were delighted that, since its launch, employees shared more than 40,000 comments and managers posted over 34,000 updates, responses, and follow-up questions. We’ve been delighted to welcome back our employees to our offices in line with the end of the working from home guidance and offering the opportunity for hybrid working. We are celebrating this return to face-to-face collaboration with office parties for each site in February. Look out for the photos on our social media pages! 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

Lots of potential to grow yourself - there's always sideways promotions available to other teams or business units Really interesting customers who are keen to work with us Leadership has improved a lot over the last few years You'll never be bored

Cons

Due to rapid growth, many functions are still immature and catching up There's a lot of maintenance work on legacy products alongside the more interesting stuff If you find accountancy, payroll or HR to be a bit boring, then this isn't for you
