Manager heavy = overworked employees - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso iRiS Software Systems

Creative Ownership: As a UI/UX designer, I had the freedom to shape the product's user experience from early stages — a rare opportunity in more mature companies. Fast-Paced Environment: The startup energy was high, and decisions were made quickly, allowing ideas to be implemented without months of red tape. Close Collaboration: Worked closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, developers, and even clients — great for skill growth and understanding the end-to-end process. Impactful Work: My design decisions directly affected user satisfaction and client retention, which was rewarding. Learning Opportunities: Exposure to the unique challenges in the hospitality tech space helped me grow professionally.

Limited Design Resources: As with many startups, tools and budgets were lean — I had to wear multiple hats and improvise often. Work-Life Balance: Long hours were common, especially around product launches and major feature rollouts. Growing Pains: The company is still building processes, so sometimes roles and responsibilities were unclear or shifting. Tech Debt: The platform evolved quickly but sometimes at the cost of user experience consistency and technical scalability. Unstructured Feedback Loops: Feedback from users or stakeholders wasn’t always formalized, requiring proactive effort to gather insights.

The company fosters a culture of respect, inclusion, and continuous learning. Leadership is approachable and transparent, and they truly value employee feedback and development. The work is both challenging and rewarding, with plenty of opportunities to take ownership and grow. Collaboration across teams is encouraged, and there's a strong sense of purpose in what we do. Benefits are competitive, work-life balance is respected, and the overall environment is positive and supportive.

Working with clients across multiple time zones can make life a bit more challenging when arranging meetings.
