Pros

there are some excellent people who work at IRIS and the benefits and packages are good

Cons

Everything the company seems to do is poorly planned and done in a rush and without enough resources in the right places. This means corners are constantly cut and quick fixes are the norm, not the exception. There are massive holes that need to be filled in the business systems and processing which cause many of the problems, the rest is caused by a very extroverted culture, if you shout loudly you tend to get resources and budget, people who know what they are doing are often ignored for giving realistic but often unpalatable advice.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, although we were surprised and disappointed by your comments. We are very proud to have heavily invested in Quantum, our world-class integrated software platform which replaces isolated processes across our business with a fully integrated set of systems, to provide a better customer experience and maximise cross-sell opportunities. We have received lots of good feedback from employees on the improvements these systems have provided to their work processes, and we are proud to continue to invest in this area. We appreciate that we are a fast paced and ambitious organisation with clear goals and objectives that are established on a regular basis. We do our upmost to communicate our plans and priorities through our extensive communication strategy, which utilises monthly site updates, regular newsletters, weekly emails from our CEO, and the use of our Global Teams Channel to let employees know why we are doing something and how it ties into our overall goals. We have recently established Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) for each department which specifically set out the priorities and goals for each function. This helps us focus on what’s really important for driving our success in the year ahead. Our strategies are also continually shaped by our employees’ views and expertise. We encourage all our employees to share their feedback in our monthly employee surveys (Peakon), various dedicated inboxes, and our annual Great Place to Work survey. We also are proud to have 35 Employee Voice Ambassadors (EVAs) across multiple departments. 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

I have been with Iris for approximately 5 months and have been incredibly impressed. The people I work with from my peers, leadership (including executive leadership) and my team, are amazing. Building relationships has been easy as most of the employees are open to it, are very collaborative and genuinely want to help! Iris is also focused on equality and ensure we all have a fair opportunity for growth. While we have a lot to do here, it is clear that we are valued.

Cons

As a rapidly growing organization, we have some growing pains and some foundational processes, systems and flow that need to be updated and/or adjusted, but nothing that won't be fixed over time.
