Pros

- fun environment; everyone is the same age - constant happy hours - red bull flip cup - interview is easy; as long as you're outgoing and likable you have a job - you make great friends - AFTER you're promoted, you have opportunity to make a lot of money depending.

Cons

- there's no growth; you're either an account manager or a recruiter; you might get 'lead' or 'senior' attached to your title but you're still doing the same job - management is only promoted from within; they never bring outsiders. That could be good for those who work hard and want to get promoted and gives them a better chance, but that also means the company is stale and you never get any new perspective. A lot of the upper management in corporate is also dominantly male frat bros - if you're not delivering results or hitting your number they force you to quit - it's all a numbers game. You're driven to the brinks to deliver numbers and follow a system but you're never acknowledged for the hard work you do - it's sales; honestly this should come as no surprise, where it's a numbers game, so what sets sales a part from everywhere else is the company and their values and insight global definitely falls short - sometimes I found management incompetent; yeah they had 'great' personalities, but they just didn't know how to be managers, had no strategy, no guidance, no mentorship - their main goal is to make sure no one quits so they don't lose their bonuses

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.
