Pros

Great place to work, with executive team that cares about its people. IRIS is continuing to develop an already great benefits package for all staff. The company is especially good at recognising and rewarding top talent and those individuals who go the extra mile. There’s also been a lot of new initiatives in engaging with staff and taking well-being seriously whilst everyone is working from home, including promoting charity work and helping local communities.

Cons

Like all companies, working from home has disrupted the social events for staff but IRIS is tackling this with more virtual events.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're delighted you recognise the efforts IRIS has made to keep everyone connected while working from home. We encourage our employees to stay in touch and get involved in daily catch ups, Workplace Support Groups, social lunchtimes and using Giving Back Days to help their local communities. We also offer a range of benefits to boost our employee’s mental, physical and financial wellbeing, and our employees can pick and choose which benefits they would like to receive. We’re also very proud to offer recognition for hard work in our High Potential and Top Talent programmes, training and development courses, Thank You Thursdays, IMPACT awards and IRIS Heroes. We also offer mentoring and secondment opportunities and apprenticeship funding for those wanting to take the next step in their careers with us! We appreciate that life has changed a lot in the past year, and with everyone working from home it has been difficult to adapt and ensure we stay connected. As mentioned above, we encourage our employees to join our range of virtual events and catch ups to keep in touch with their 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 contact EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk. Kind regards, the HR team

Pros

Working at IRIS feels like I’m working in the premier league. This company has cutting edge products that work brilliantly (mostly), a laser focus on making employees and customers happy, great managers and a competent and ambitious leadership team. IRIS is one of the UKs best kept secrets - I would guess that most people are touched by IRIS products everyday. On top of that, IRIS has grown every year for the last 20 years and is highly profitable - making it a secure environment to work in and one where innovation and being the best are valued qualities in employees. Unsurprisingly, the pace of work here is quite fast and everyone is expected to give their best everyday. This is not a place to plod about in or hide under the parapet in - IRIS is too ambitious for that. It’s also a place where you need to prioritise well in order to get the right things done on time. In summary a highly successful, well managed company with great results and a well thought out strategic plan which focuses on making customers and employees happy en route to achieving its ambitious growth plans.

Cons

IRIS is highly acquisitive and is doing a really good job of bringing companies into the family - however the energy required for this is over and above energy required for business as usual. Some of the offices are looking a bit tired and could do with a renovation. I know IRIS is doing something about this.

Pros

As soon as I walked in for my interview, I felt welcome and valued. The atmosphere and building itself is a wonderful, it is so relaxing but motivating. Outside there is a pond and quite area to sit and have lunch. The management are so supportive and the company itself has a great culture and fantastic values. The benefits are superior to anything I have incountered before and it really gives an insensitive to become the best you can be. I actually love going to work in the morning. With the company growing and a really great forecast I intend to be here for as long as I possibly can 😊.

Cons

None none none none none. 😊

Thank you so much for your review! We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying your time here at IRIS. The Heathrow Approach office is certainly a fantastic space – with beautiful views, quiet spaces and great perks (like iPad controlled coffee machines and a pool table!) – we get great feedback on the office and we’re very happy you like it! We’re also very proud of our outstanding benefits package, our supportive and dynamic senior management team, our culture of growth, and our IMPACT values which tie it all together. We look forward to working with you and wish you a long and happy career at IRIS. Kind regards, the HR team.
