Pros

Fun people, great location, nothing else

Cons

I wanted to love it so badly. The people seemed fun, they make you feel like you're part of an elite group (re: they only hire extremely attractive, outgoing people), it seemed like there was a lot of career advancement. But you're lied to from the get go. I didn't want to believe all of the negative reviews, but statistically, real reviews are shaped like a bell curve, and IG's has an overwhelming amount of positive reviews. But notice they're vague because management forces their vapid workforce to say something nice about the company to maintain an image. They only hire former Greek life/athletes who're insecure about locking down a decent job after college. So they offer $38k, take you out to lunch/happy hour, tell you you're going to make a lot of money, and it seems like a great deal. Wrong. You work 10-12 hour days, have to join their mob mentality, and have 0 work/life balance except for hanging out at happy hour with your co-workers. They told me you'd get promoted once you become an account manager 6 months in, but that rarely happens, even if you've been working for 1.5+ years. If you want to take yourself seriously, wait for a better job opportunity. There's more to life than extending your party days, getting paid a non-livable wage with poor benefits, and getting overworked.

Pros

The individual contributors and the endless amounts of budget for campaigns tools and resources. A great place for marketing creatives looking to do just that, create.

Cons

Leadership served themselves, not their team. There's 0 structure with no marketing KPI measurement or revenue attribution to show the ROI. Everyone always seemed so busy but nothing was getting done to show the impact marketing had on the businesses bottom line. Not many wanted to do the work to build the department to any potential, half of marketing doesn't even work under marketing which promotes vast misalignment. Just resources begging to be used and a bleeding advertising budget. It has a ton of potential, but I watched the few who could have changed it all leave over the frustrations of leaders only concerned with their own self preservation.
