RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Iress full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
- the company culture encourages innovation and diversity. - lots of smart people who are also very friendly. many community events - fantastic CEO - visionary and approachable - modern workplace, technologies used have been evolving dramatically for the past 5 years - free fruits, coffee, Friday drinks and etc. - paid leaves etc. for example you get ~8 day paid leave when your kid starts school. - flexible working is supported - plenty opportunities to learn and grow (if you choose to)
Cons
- it can be overwhelming to keep up in a fast-paced place and sometime you just lose the work/life balance inadvertently
Iress2019-04-23Thanks for listing a variety of positives in your experience at IRESS. I am proud to read innovation, diversity, flexibility, leave and learning and growth. Things are pretty fast-paced (in the world too) but this needs to stay in control...if you ever feel yourself overwhelmed, make sure you discuss it with your people leader to help work through priorities.

Pros
Enviroment to work in is nice.
Cons
No wage increase even after additional responsibility has been given. Shows a lack of care towards the people who work here. Often feeling left out and not cared about.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Iress full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
-unfortunately no pros that I can think of
Cons
-So-called people leaders who are hard to work with and have no people skills. -HR are hard to approach. When I first started with the company, HR were great. The HR team now keep to themselves and it’s very awkward trying to get any answers from them (getting different answers to questions depending on who you talk to as well). -It’s very clique and the whole one IRESS thing they’ve been pushing around for years is laughable

I’m disappointed to hear your comments, particularly nothing positive about your achievements at Iress over 10 years. We strive to create an environment where people are and feel encouraged to be their best, deliver for clients and develop professionally - I am confident this is the experience of most people at Iress. Thanks for your feedback.

Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI have been working at Iress full-time for more than a year
Pros
It has a relaxed environment with good work/life balance.
Cons
Advancing the career is quite tough. Have seen people who doesn't deserve to be promoted and those who do the real work, a lot of excuses and little or no raise. The compensation is average and the benefits are not as good as claimed. When your work depends on another team, it's painfully slow and cumbersome. In a nutshell, they oversell the culture and values. It sounds great on paper, the reality however, is far from it.

I’m disappointed to read your perspective/experience and meeting expectations in engineering - these aren't what I see and hear. In our most recent people surveys, 80% of people said IRESS they believed our values were important to us and 74% said they were proud to work for IRESS. Our focus regarding reward is on providing a total package covering pay, benefits and many other aspects (including growth, development, flexibility and opportunity). It would be good to chat further about the specifics of your comments around advancing your career and being hindered by others teams - let me know on SLACK if you want to discuss over a coffee.
