Flexible work environment but lacks strong leadership - Sales Development Executive bei IRIS Software Group: Mitarbeiterbewertung

I have been with Iris for approximately 5 months and have been incredibly impressed. The people I work with from my peers, leadership (including executive leadership) and my team, are amazing. Building relationships has been easy as most of the employees are open to it, are very collaborative and genuinely want to help! Iris is also focused on equality and ensure we all have a fair opportunity for growth. While we have a lot to do here, it is clear that we are valued.

As a rapidly growing organization, we have some growing pains and some foundational processes, systems and flow that need to be updated and/or adjusted, but nothing that won't be fixed over time.

Customers, remote work and product

I’m sharing this feedback respectfully and professionally so future candidates can make an informed decision. I joined the company optimistic about the culture and leadership direction. There are talented individuals across the organization, and many team members genuinely want the company to succeed. Unfortunately, my experience with management practices and HR processes ultimately did not reflect the collaborative environment that was communicated during hiring. Over time, I raised concerns regarding how certain situations were being handled specifically around fairness, communication transparency, and accountability in decision-making. My intention was constructive: to improve processes and protect both employee morale and customer relationships. Instead of those concerns being reviewed through a structured discussion or mediation process, they were treated as resistance. When I attempted to clarify expectations I was reprimanded for mentioning This confirmed an environment where success was predetermined by company I also expected HR to serve as a neutral resource. However, there was no formal mediation, follow-up plan, or corrective action framework offered. Conversations were acknowledged but not investigated, and no documented resolution path Eventually, I was terminated. While companies have the right to make employment decisions, the absence of a transparent review process made the outcome feel predetermined rather than evaluated. This review is not written out of bitterness I appreciate the colleagues I worked with and the opportunities I had but candidates should understand the environment they may be entering: • Expectations and agreements may change without clear written alignment • Leadership accountability can be inconsistent • HR functions more as administrative support than an employee mediation channel • Speaking up about process concerns may not be welcomed as feedback For candidates who thrive in highly structured, clearly documented, and mutually accountable environments, I recommend asking detailed questions during interviews about conflict resolution procedures, performance documentation practices, and how leadership receives upward feedback
