Pros

Overall, this is a very collaborative place to work. There's a good vibe right now, especially with the company seeing some great results. They're clearly committed to doing the right thing for their customers and employees. The flexibility is a major plus—only three days in the office, and they've given us eight extra long weekends a year. They're also improving our tech and are serious about using AI to make our work more efficient. It's nice to see that they're listening to employee feedback and trying to improve the company culture.

Cons

While most people are great, there are a few leaders who need to put their agendas aside and focus on what's best for the company—our people, our customers, and our shareholders. Career progression is also a real challenge if you're not in Australia, as a lot of key roles seem to be reserved for people based there. It's also worth noting that a lot of what you see on social media and other review sites from former employees isn't accurate. There's a lot of misinformation out there from people who haven't worked here for a while and don't know what the culture is like now.

It’s great to see you highlight some of our focus areas and we have some really interesting work happening in this space, including in AI. In terms of your advice for the leadership team - you can be assured we will keep on listening to our people and investing in our internal talent.

Pros

A great sized company where you can move between teams for entirely new experiences and domains but with the familiarity of a larger organisation. Great community spirit and policies that work for employees. Trust from leaders without micro management. Desire from leaders to do things the "right way"A great sized company where you can move between teams for entirely new experiences and domains but with the familiarity of a larger organisation. Great community spirit and policies that work for employees. Trust from leaders without micro management. Desire from leaders to do things the "right way" Fantastic community spirit amongst teams. Willingness to invest in technology to make staff life easier (Gsuite/zoom/slack - well before their time)

Cons

The scale of the business sometimes impacts speed of delivery and agility. Recent salary reviews haven't kept pace with industry inflation. Over burdened middle tier managers spend more time firefighting than strategising

Thanks for such a comprehensive and balanced view on your thoughts of working at Iress. Our people are at the heart of our success, and we trust and empower them to drive forward. It’s great to also see you reference the importance we give to flexibility and opportunity for everyone. Speeding up the movement of our software to Iress’ Cloud Platform, and the delivery of products and services through a single prod-tech platform are just two examples of how we are accelerating the build and delivery of our solutions. We spoke in detail about these, and the other key elements of our plans in our people sessions towards the end of last year.
