Pros
The core staff at IRM are a close knit team, who offer both support and friendship, making it a pleasure to work with them. IRM used to always be known for helping juniors getting into the industry and make their way up through the ranks, however this has fallen by the wayside is recent years. No help to being taken over by a french conglomerate who spend most of their time eating croissants than actually listening to people.
Cons
The great core teams are severely let down by less than satisfactory senior management. If senior management spent more time investing and listening to staff than they do counting numbers it would be a whole different game. 100% billable is the new norm leading to highly utilised and burnt out of staff running on fumes and energy drinks. IRM had always been a bespoke company who their staff were always at the forefront of who they are. However the Atlran aquisition has led to everyone being identified as a "number" and no longer can the CEO make any changes. It should be noted he still has the staff's interests at heart however now faces beuracracy and paperwork thus creating the game of cat and mouse.
