Pros

-The company and employee environment is fantastic, everyone is eccentric and friendly. -Very good salary considering many Recruiters are university grads with minimal experience and marketable skills. -Professional environment.

Cons

-Long hours of menial work, mostly consisting of scouring resume websites for potential candidates, and cold-calling up to 40 or 50 of them per day. 9.5 hour work days are the bare minimum, with many Recruiters staying an extra hour each day because sales goals are set intentionally high. Minimal-to-no work-life balance exists for this company, who wholeheartedly embrace a culture of having minimal personal time outside of the office. -Static sales goals. They preach an acceptance for the fact that everyone learns at a different pace, but refuse to be accommodating when sales goals aren't met, even in the first week of employment! -High pressure environment, managers are friendly when your goals are met, but very stern when they aren't.

Pros

Lots of virtue signaling. Halloween was huge.

Cons

IG has one of the most toxic workplace cultures I've experienced. Poor leadership, cliquish behavior, constant office drama, frequent verbal abuse, and an excessively loud work environment create a culture where professionalism takes a back seat. Success often seems less dependent on performance than on whether you're part of the "in" crowd. If a favored leader or influential employee decides they don't like you, your contributions quickly become irrelevant. Even when concerns are documented, supported with evidence, and raised through the appropriate leadership channels, employees can find themselves facing retaliation rather than resolution. Although the company advertises a hybrid work model, there is significant pressure to be in the office nearly every day, with employees who don't conform experiencing negative consequences. The company publicly promotes values around inclusion, respect, and corporate responsibility, but my experience did not reflect those messages. The gap between the company's external branding and its internal culture was striking. My direct manager regularly yelled, cursed at me, and made insulting remarks. Sexist jokes and comments from leaders were not uncommon, and management failed to address this behavior despite being aware of it. Instead of investigating concerns or holding people accountable, retaliation appeared to be the preferred response. After many years in the workforce, this was the most unprofessional and dysfunctional organization I've encountered. Before accepting a position, I would strongly encourage prospective employees to read reviews from former employees across multiple platforms and consider recurring themes carefully.
