Pros

Can't think of any positive attributes with this company.

Cons

This company is a textbook example of dysfunctional leadership and a toxic work environment. Management is completely unequipped to lead—directionless, inconsistent, and lacking even a basic understanding of how to support a team. Leadership behaves in a shockingly unprofessional manner, gossiping about employees behind their backs and exposing personal information to others without consent. The culture is cliquey and exclusive; if you’re not one of the favorites, you’re treated like an outcast, and you will absolutely be left to fend for yourself. Most employees have never worked anywhere else, which shows in the stale, outdated processes and the inability to implement even the most necessary improvements. Compensation is laughable ($67K as a base salary when you expect your employees to be at their desks at 7:30AM??) and PATHETIC benefits. Account managers constantly overstep boundaries, pretending to understand the hiring managers and what they are looking for—spoiler alert: they don’t have A CLUE WHAT THEY ARE DOING- and then the pros get the heat of every mistake and poor choice that account managers make. It is a pros fault for everything. The entire environment is toxic and invasive, where privacy doesn’t exist and everyone knows (and talks about) your business. For a recruiting company, they refuse to invest in decent recruiting software and force employees to manually track every single metric like it’s 2005. If I have any piece of advice to those considering a job with Insight Global PLEASE think twice about it. Please take all of these negative reviews to heart - REALLY LISTEN TO THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT FAKE! - and reconsider accepting an offer with them. Whether you are a contractor or internal employee, you'll regret it.

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.
