Pros

- learn a lot about other industries/companies/jobs - working directly with clients is great experience; learn how to speak the language of directors, VP's, and C-Suite level leadership - can make some good friends - good job stability - they do not lay off sales people or recruiters - good access to trainings and professional development

Cons

- frat-like culture that turns into a very toxic work environment quickly - leadership is young, inexperienced, and stressed out, so they turn around and stress out those below them even more - salary is extremely low and you don't make good commission until you've passed a very high bracket - leadership also micromanages every little thing about those below them; they treat their subordinates like children - very difficult for many to maintain mental health and wellbeing while working here, have spoken with numerous people who have struggled with this and had to leave IG because it got so bad - horrible lack of diversity - everyone seems to come from 3 main PWI's - toxic approach to those who quit - leadership seems to immediately start bad mouthing them and people begin to turn against them, rather than being happy for them - extremely metrics-driven even when it sometimes doesn't make sense

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.
