IRIS Software Group Reviews

I recently concluded my tenure at IRIS and feel compelled to share my experience here on Glassdoor. While my time with the company had its moments, unfortunately, several concerning issues overshadowed the positives. Firstly, there seemed to be a noticeable lack of effective communication and receptiveness to employee concerns. Despite voicing my opinions and suggestions, I often felt that my input wasn't given the attention it deserved. This created a sense of frustration and disengagement within the team. Moreover, the circumstances surrounding my redundancy were perplexing. It appeared that my role was deemed redundant, despite evidence to the contrary. This raised questions regarding the legality and fairness of the decision-making process, leaving me feeling uncertain about the company's commitment to its employees' well-being. Furthermore, allegations against two managers deeply troubled me. It was disheartening to witness upper-management siding with the accused managers rather than prioritising the safety and dignity of the employees. Such actions undermine the trust and integrity of the workplace culture. Additionally, the CEO's visit to our office left much to be desired. While I anticipated an informative session about the company's vision and goals, it regrettably devolved into a monologue primarily focused on self-promotion. The lack of meaningful engagement and the patronising tone of the presentation were disappointing, to say the least.

They will buy up and turn your acquired company into a burnt out shell of itself, replacing any genuine culture with hollow corporate values. Colleagues I'd worked with for years were disappeared overnight and not allowed the dignity to say goodbye and we were never told, leaving us to guess if they still worked here or were just ignoring our emails. There is only way of doing things, and that is the IRIS way. Unfortunately, the IRIS way seems to be a shambolic and reactive mess where the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, arbitrary and needlessly tight deadlines, and operating under the antiquated thinking that one size fits all. Mushroom management is rife and you're just expected to go along with it with a dopey smile on your face. Very suspect and bully-boy HR tactics and senior management is untrustworthy. While I can't say too much about this, if you go visit the reptile house at your nearest zoo, you'll get the general idea. You will never be much more than a number on a spreadsheet. You will be mercilessly jettisoned no matter your prior contributions to the company if budget targets are in danger of not being met, or you're 'not a good fit' i.e. not a brown nosing game player who would whack kittens off the roof with a cricket bat if told by management. Dull, corporate culture and loads of lip service about being a great place to work, but not much action. Look at the absolute state of these 'genuine' five star reviews. They read like something a POW has been forced to write by their captor. Generously assuming they're all real, would you want to be working with colleagues like this day in and day out? All genuine criticism is brushed under the carpet using the excuse of, 'ThIs iS a FasT MooVing PLAIce wiTH ConStant CHangE, NOt for EvEryOne'. Yeah, just like how not everyone could cut it on the Bataan Death March. In closing, this is the close 2nd worst place I've ever worked at (first place goes to the firm that timed our toilet breaks and wrote me up for a late when a seagull did a giant whoopsie on my head while walking to work - sorry, current IRIS workers, I'm probably giving HR ideas here).
