Pros

- Fun working environment - Some ability to interact/interface with management and decision makers at Fortune 500 companies - Semi-annual company trips/conferences

Cons

- Call-center environment with metric-driven expectations --> metrics and numbers are 100% valued over ethical and smart business decisions; 99% of your job is being on the phones and making calls - EXTREMELY high turnover - saw over 25 people (about two thirds of the office) quit/resign/get fired during my time there, which was barely 8 months - Only promote from within, so no outside managerial experience which lends to a very one-sided outlook and mindset - "Sink or swim": If you're not 100% with the corporate culture and it's beliefs and processes, you're against it - Recruitment of Insight Global employees is based more on physical appearance and attractiveness than merit and education (simply search "Insight Global" on LinkedIn and you'll see what I mean) - If you value your hard work and effort during your time at school, this is not the best fit for you. I went to a top 20 school in the US and would not suggest this job, as my intelligence and education were rarely able to be fully applied. And if you're not a fan of Greek Life, this really is not the place either.

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.
