Pros
Good work environment Good culture Freedom to build stuff
Cons
No hikes and promotions No intentions of retaining existing employees Never talk about promotions or hikes, it's not a part of company's culture. You enter at a salary and remain at the same for almost the rest of your stay at the company

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Iress full-time for more than a year
Pros
Friendly people Modern tech stack Approachable CEO
Cons
Don't go by job profile description during the interview. The culture in Iress is to have everyone do everything, so if you are passionate about something you might only get to spend 30% on it when working in a team. You are hired as a ( Tester, Frontend Engineer, Backend Engineer, DevOps Engineer, BA and Scrum Master) Frontend development culture isn't great. There is no much focus around it in Sydney office. Doesn't really understand UI/UX concept. Company is clueless about accessibility. Lacks specialised roles and doesn't promote one either. Hired for "Senior Frontend Engineer" role, assigned "Engineer" role and let work on everything. Good for those who wants to be a "Bit of this and a bit of that" engineer (Technology agnostic, since you will get your hands dirty on everything). Sounds exciting? Iress is for you, go for it otherwise I wouldn't recommend. No career growth, you can switch profiles, but roles are very minimal. Salary package is quite low compared to other companies.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Iress full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Great non-salary remuneration including heavily discounted private health insurance, discounted share purchase options, free Friday drinks and 50c cokes from the vending machine. Relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Cons
Feels like a bit of a one way street regarding career progression. Plenty of opportunity to move from middle to senior roles as a developer but roles appropriate for juniors never come up. No wage increase (not even CPI) for 3 years, and this is likely to persist for the foreseeable future.
