Pros

- People are really friendly and the company is very inclusive (a lot more female developers and QA than other companies for example) - Easy to progress - Good opportunities to grow and learn - Can have a modern tech stack in some products - Great work/life balance - Remote work and very flexible

Cons

- Very heavy on the hierarchy, sometimes it feels like there are too many managers - Product indecision and lack of direction at times - Promotions take a long time to take effect, especially if you miss the period

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re delighted that you recognise the fantastic people at IRIS who are celebrated for bringing their true selves to work. We’re truly proud to create an inclusive working environment, our Belonging Group holds monthly calls to focus on specific topics, share ideas and experiences and provide networking opportunities. We’re also particularly proud to promote and encourage more women into tech, with 46.5% of the IRIS population being women, and support their development. We are constantly reviewing our processes between Engineering and Product. From our Great Place to Work survey, our Engineering and Product Heads of Function have listened to our employees feedback and are looking to consolidate and review this to ensure the communication stream is as effective as possible. We have now set up an Engineering Newsletter where we will share higher level Product celebrations across the whole department which should also impact the communication aspect within the department. In the last 4 months, we were also delighted to celebrate 5 promotions and role changes across the Software Production function. 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.
