Pros

Iris is a good place to work, especially for graduates to get sales experience (definitely more in the accountancy division than the SME division). There is good progression if you're prepared to fight for it, but they really make you fight for it - a lot of promotions come from people handing their notice in.

Cons

It's pretty dog eat dog (as in most sales jobs) - we have clear jurisdictions for our areas but if there are any debates over deals being in your area you can expect to fight to the death with the other person, rather than have your managers independently verify the account (at least not properly). A lot of promotions come from people handing their notice in. There's a growing frustration that graduates are exploited due to their lack of experience, rather than proactively promoting them based on their performance and skills they have developed. People shouldn't be driven to the point of leaving - we can easily get more money elsewhere!

Pros

There are some really good talented people working for IRIS, but more often than not they leave to get get a better salary elsewhere. Benefits are average, 3% statutory contribution to pension, 26 days annual leave, mediocre pay and a token bonus pot to which you have to jump through many hurdles, then keep your fingers crossed they decide to pay.

Cons

No salary increase this year, although EBITDA (profit) was double digit growth. Senior engineering management are not fit for purpose an should be removed with immediate effect. I have never worked with people that have managed to climb so high on the corporate ladder and yet be so incompetent, completely astounds me. The level of micromanagement just introduces its own level of inefficiencies and most often the wrong people are doing the wrong jobs. There is little to no training, the company is haemorrhaging talent and thinks it can find graduates to work on software which is 20+ years using C++ and pay peanuts. Morale is low where we're fast approaching a situation where there are more managers than people to do the actual work. HR is a complete waste of time/effort and space. They offers no real value and can be outsourced.
