Pros

FIRST AND FOREMOST THERE IS A TEMPLATE ON EVERY EMPLOYEE'S EMAIL WITH A LINK LEADING TO GLASSDOOR PRESSURING PEOPLE TO LEAVE GOOD REVIEWS. that has to say a lot about a company. Aesthetically pleasing office and co-workers. There are extra-curricular activities such as happy hours, sales conferences etc. But, this is all part of the gigantic facade that is Insight Global. These petty perks keep the naive people to stay. Or guys who are that desperate to be around attractive women. Most of these guys get turned into pro-recruiter AKA-you're not an attractive female here's two computer screens so you feel important and don't quit.

Cons

Extremely unprofessional. Lied in interview process, and only sold me on Account Manager role, which as a male is extremely hard to achieve, not to mention the 6-8 mo. promotion spiel is a complete lie. Horrible pay approx 30k for long hours. commission for recruiters is 1% on spread. Person with highest spread in office as a recruiter was only taking home an extra $50 a week for busting their tail. Also, very cookie cutter approach to sales training. Everyone must be obnoxious "yellers", and in all honesty most clients don't enjoy those types of personalities. Unprofessional atmosphere which seems appealing to young college students, and also a part of the facade.

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.
