Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Good listener's ,fair and very understanding.
They seem both knowledgeable and in touch with reality
They listen well and accept new ideas.
New executive team seems headed in the right direction
Transparent leadership not afraid to take risks
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
being transparent to the rest of the team. they lie through their teeth
Planning upon structure and reality rather than planning pipe dreams and forcing the operations teams to figure it out. Too often we (Ops) are told "its our challenge" to determine new ways to support client needs that have been agreed to by the sales teams
Leadership needs to connect with their employees in more meaningful ways. They are very above it all.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Flexible time off for employees.
Pto is unlimited and people work with you to take time off
Flexible time off is great
Health insurance is very good
Two weeks sick time, Favorable
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Salaries aren't competitive with the market. Little room for promotion and low salary increases each year despite record breaking performances
A colleague died and left behind a wife and three kids. The regional office didn't even phone or send a card to the family. A living wage not bare legal minimum
My personal compensation has been capped because of IRI's salary banding structure. Because they hired me at one level, they told me "you make too much to get a merit increase this year" 3 years out of 9. When I asked how to get out of my current payband, I was told I would have to switch teams
Owned by two VC firms and all stock options have been taken away.

Great people. Smart people. Diverse group. Fun and caring
Teammates are interesting and we all work well togwther
Smart, hardworking coworkers make every day better

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Everyone is very accepting of people
The company is close knit and focused on client success
Not working in their office bases
I canI work from home
The people band together within teams, but the organizational decisions pit teams against one another to compete for resources with little to no support or guidance from "above".
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Middle management and senior management need to better align around the employees who do all the work...in other words, walk in their shoes and feel their pain.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interview process was terrible. Like some sort of hazing, it lasted for 5 months I had 6 interviews and it was for a low level position. The hiring HR team even got frustrated when I checked in which of course I did this was the longest hiring process by far in my entire career.
Ive been working at iri for over 5 years so really do not remember process
The candor of interviewers was refreshing
The recruiter and hiring manager were clear, direct, fair and really interesting to talk with.
the people who I interviewed with were kind and smart.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
It would be nice to know that roles are defined in any way. Jobs are given very broad descriptions because the roles themselves are relatively unstructured and will shift in scope and focus without warning, and sometimes without justifiable or communicated reasons
What makes you most happy at work?
Client impact and coaching others
Covid has been rough - generally Id say interacting with team members, but we are all getting sick of online meetings
Being challenged to innovate in a competitive space
The compensation, Fellow peers and clients
Our people, and our technology and their ability to delight our clients
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Work on improving all staff morale
There is no operational structure, and apparently very little desire to implement one. We approach nearly every project as ad hoc rather than form structures that will make operations (and therefore output) more predictable and less volatile. Project management does not align with resource mgmt
Exhaustion and burn out have permeated all departments in the company.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
There aren't any Outlook reviews of IRI yet.
