Pros

Constant communication. One would say spam worthy, from several recruiters in the same office.

Cons

I understand that transitioning from college to a professional career can be difficult. However, when you are in a candidate and/or client interfacing role, there is little room for error. Recruiting isn't just about numbers, submittals, getting something over to the Account Manager, or how many calls are made a day. If you make X amount of calls a day, how many of them a true information gathering call? Or, are they "HI! You're perfect for this role! Sent you the specs! You coded in .net? Perfect! I'll get you sent right over!" ... What's missing from the conversation? Everything. The level of candidate engagement and commitment will be low when their careers, livelihoods, and the way they pay their mortgage, is managed by "Recruiters" that have next to no global perspective true "adulting".

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.
