Pros

I have mixed feelings about working at InquisIT. I felt the need to write a review because 3 reviews on Glassdoor, from 2016, are fake. They were created to "brand" the "new" InquisIT. The funny thing is the old InquisIT was great.

Cons

Slowly as the executive management changed, so did the culture. It's amazing how if an employee is told the change is exciting, and that "great" things are on their way, the employee believes that. In truth employees were slowly let go, new employees were hired (all new employees conveniently had a tie to the new executive management), what once felt like a family was now every man for their own. Employees were pinned against each other, and sides were divided. The sad part is, the employees that truly love everything that is InquisIT, were the reason it was worth working there.

Pros

Kept a variety of healthy snack options stocked in the office kitchen and some other good perks.

Cons

There is a lot to say about this company, from the offensive and ignorant language thrown around, to the numerous surprise firings of really good employees. But I believe the most significant con to working at InquisIT was the culture that glamorized overworking. Myself and my department worked almost every day of the week almost every week, through entire weekends, family holidays, you name it. The idea of having a 40 hour work week here was laughed at. Unfortunately, we were never adequately compensated for the amount of work we put in. There were vague promises that money and promotions would come at some distant point in the future, but I never saw any of that come to fruition. These promises kept a lot of people motivated and convinced that the long hours would all be worth it some day. Again, I never witnessed this happen anywhere in the company, and it seemed to me that very little growth occurred in my time there. Instead there was increasing pressure and unrealistic expectations placed on myself and my team, which is the reason I ultimately left the company. I wanted to post this review to encourage anyone considering employment here to first ask them about your hours, expectations, and work-life balance before you make your decision, particularly if you are working in their headquarters office.
