Pros

client facing meetings - I learned great skills - learned how to tech recruit which helped me with my next role

Cons

I'm not sure where to begin. IG was my first job out of college as it is for most of their employees. My theory is they go after ambitious fresh out of the gate students who are excited and eager to enter the work force. Their retention rate is horrible because they promise you the world but drag you through the mud to get there. Recruiting isn't the issue, it't their upper management, metrics, and the day to day pressure they put on you to hit them. even employees that have been there for multiple years get treated this way. IG gave me great tools for my next role and some life long friends, but I am very happy to not be there anymore. I am not one to give up on anything. I tried to make it work, but all in all it is not the best environment to work in. As i scroll through glassdoor and see all the positive reviews, I can't help but giggle. I remember each month they would have a couple people in the office write a good review and screen shot it to show they did it.

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.
