Pros

Your coworkers are your age (22+) so I met some of my bestfriends there. Basically because we all bonded over how miserable we were.

Cons

Everything. Be there at 7:45 most mornings (7:20 two days a week) If you're 1 minute late, you get pulled into a room and get written up. You "can" leave at 5 but it's frowned upon. Every Tuesday morning you meet with you account manager aka "mentor" and they go over your report, which really means yelling at you and asking why you didn't meet their INSANE weekly numbers you need to hit. You're constantly paranoid and scared that you might make one small mistake or get stuck in traffic and lose your damn job. They ASSIGN you a lunch time, and don't even think about being one minute late after your hour is up. They micromanage you and treat you like an untrustworthy child. Not to mention the base pay is horrible. If you want to be a pro recruiter instead of sales, you have to hit basically 11k in spread in order to get commission. While the sales people only have to hit 3k. This was the absolute worst 10 months of my life. Do not work here, don't let the corporate recruiters convince you.

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.
