Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time at IRIS and found it to be an amazing place to work with lovely colleagues. We appreciate your feedback about progression opportunities. At IRIS, we’ve made significant investments to give every employee a clear and achievable development path. Our global career framework outlines progression routes for all roles, supported by internal mobility initiatives, mentoring schemes, and our Career Coaching Service. We’ve also designed five structured leadership pathways (two of which are CMI-accredited) to support employees at every stage, from aspiring managers to senior leaders. These are complemented by a library of over 7,000 e-learning resources and access to global development programs like our IRIS AI Academy for future-ready skills. We’re proud that these initiatives have delivered real results, leading to 60 promotions in Q2, over 100 employees completed our High Potential Programme, and 58 funded apprenticeships and 124 professional qualifications in the past year. We're always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please reach out to the HR team or email ​EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk​. Kind regards, the HR team

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted to hear that you recognise IRIS’ strong organsational structure and the benefits of working within a large organisation. We fully appreciate that standardisation can sometimes feel challenging for smaller teams, and this is something we continually monitor. IRIS is committed to giving every employee the best possible experience, which is why we run regular surveys to gather honest feedback that helps us improve and balance global standards with team flexibility. 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

- my team was flexible with remote working

Cons

- pay was awful for such a big company - very little opportunity to progress - new CEO was pushing everyone returning to office based work and had outdated practices - go on about how you are a 'family' but they will get rid of you the second it becomes convenient for them - so many products acquired that there was no quality, it was all quantity

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, although we are surprised and disappointed by your comments. Paying our employees fairly and competitively for their hard work is a priority for IRIS. In addition to being a Real Living Wage Employer, we run an annual salary review using external benchmarking data to ensure our pay remains competitive within the market. We also offer pay scales in select departments to provide a clear pathway for salary growth as skills develop, alongside an annual bonus entitlement for all permanent employees. We understand the importance of career progression and development opportunities, which is why we have launched our career framework to provide transparency around roles and growth paths. In addition, we offer extensive training and personal development options, such as our Learning with IMPACT platform, our Elevate personal growth pathway, and our High Potential Programme, which supports employees aspiring to leadership roles. On flexible working, IRIS continues to offer both permanent remote working and a hybrid model for employees who live near our offices. We strive to maintain a working environment that balances flexibility with opportunities for engagement and teamwork. We’re always looking for ways we can be the best we can be, and we would welcome any further suggestions. Please reach out to the HR team or email ​EmployeeFeedback@iris.co.uk​. Kind regards, the HR team
