Pros

Friendly people Free breakfast, fruit and drinks Comfortable workspaces

Cons

Changes strategy and direction quicker than whiplash. Awful tech stack - does not settle on one tool and is overwhelming. If you're not good at protecting your space, this will be taken advantage of. If you're too good at protecting your space this will be seen as underperformance. LT do not listen to the people, make assumptions and do everything they want in their own way.

The changes we have made at Iress in the past couple of years were needed, and our current strong performance is validation of the decisions taken during that time. We now have a clear and focused long term strategy, which includes removing technical debt and legacy systems so that we can focus on developing the next level of industry software. It’s an exciting time for Iress because our collective effort and commitment is driving us forward to success. As a member of the global leadership team, I can assure you we work hard to listen to and respond to feedback from our people. We value different perspectives, and encourage open, honest conversations. We work hard to listen to and respond to feedback from our people and our clients.

Pros

People, Good central office (Melbourne) Staff benefits are ok

Cons

Engineering management is a let down - poor behaviours, micromanagement, lack of trust - the list can go on. Seems to get swept under the carpet or ignored so patterns continue to fester and have for years.

Thanks for your positive comments around your colleagues, workspace and the benefits you receive. I am disappointed to read your views about engineering management and would like to understand your feedback in more detail - please reach out to me or a member of my team so we can discuss further. Thank you
