Pros

there are jobs available through them on contract, many if you're desperate. the places you could end up working for could be great and you would go months and months without hearing from Insight Global management. my best advice is if you're getting the gig through Insight Global become very forgettable to them and you won't have to deal with them. I'm doing that. pay is on time, and they're helpful if you have a pay issue and quick to try to get pay issues correct.

Cons

pay issues are the only issues that have gone smooth. when attempting to get pay increase was attacked verbally for asking for it, insight global management used shame and derision tactics in attempt to dissuade from the idea that a pay increase was even something i could hardly be worthy for, seriously! was given misinformation during the interview process. doesn't seen like the recruiters and vendor management know what is involved in the positions they staff for either. as a contractor expect many shops to treat you very differently than the other salaried employees that actually work for the company where you're working as a contractor. some shops aren't bad but others can be very bad, by the airs that they put upon, as bad as blaming their mistakes on the vendors and contractors, etc., and at worse making drama in regards to the contractor where the organizations HR dept gets involved. I've seen people get fired because they were friends with people who got fired! this specifically isn't Insight Global's fault, but when you try to communicate with either Insight Global or the shop where you're working at expect to be packing your bags and being walked out by security. Have thick skin if you're in a place where you can't find any other work and you take a gig with Insight Global. It's a gamble, you could end up somewhere great where you might have an opportunity to get your foot in the door and only have to deal with Insight Global's crappy management, or you could get something where there are "red badges vs blue badges" WHILE you're dealing with Insight Global's crappy management.

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.
