Iress Employee Reviews about "flexible working"

Pros

Massive change over the last few years. We use modern technology in G Suite, Jira, Slack, Zoom etc. It does make you feel like we are current. Great package of benefits (Cash Plan, Pension, Private Health, Share scheme) and have just announced a paid long weekend benefit from Jan 2022 which I have to applaud. Good approach to flexible working with options to buy more holidays. In my experience the staff are all hard working and love to help each other. Management always feel approachable.

Cons

Moving away from traditional teams to an engagement led resource model feels like it needs a lot more time to bed in. Workload is high and pressure is on. Long hours, early starts and weekend work is commonplace. No cost of living pay increases.

Pros

Flexible working arrangements, great benefits including parental leave, additional leave for families with children starting school and six additional days of leave for long weekends. Internal training available on the software, tools as well as via Udemy and you can also access other external training if it makes sense for your role and team. The people at Iress care and are very helpful - there are opportunities to learn but you do have to push yourself in order to get these opportunities. The Leadership team is accessible and I believe they truly care.

Cons

Iress has grown quickly and still shows remnants of a smaller business in that collaboration and scalability in product development/ client communications/ people development/ leadership coaching/ internal processes is only just becoming a high focus rather than individual solutions for these areas. Heavy in technical skills with only recent tangible recognition of the need for people skills and increased collaboration. Historically worked in silos and will take a while for this culture to evolve.

Pros

Global senior leadership are approachable and available. Generous leave policies, truly flexible working, and supportive people leaders. A good balance of 'get it done' and 'do it well'. We develop people over the course of their careers. I've progressed in my career significantly with Iress.

Cons

Global updates and objectives can often be contradictory or confusing. A complex work environment can make it difficult to keep up. Constantly changing tech and internal processes.
