Pros

The recruiters at IW are some of the strongest people I’ve worked with. Other teams at Instawork really do thrive, and have good leadership. Talent acquisition and Sales isn’t one of them.

Cons

•They just raised Series D funding and then announced a 10% reduction. Talk about greed. •Extremely underpaid - one of our all star colleagues who has been recognized multiple times by leadership is currently living in their car and his living situation has been brought up to leadership for a fair pay raise multiple times and it was ignored. •You are 100% replaceable leadership could care less about what you’ve done for the company. •You will work well into the night time hours. Some colleagues have worked until 2am because sales leadership is on their head 24/7 •Sales Recruiters should never work here unless they want to be berated by leadership 24/7. They treat recruiters awful and the whole sales leadership team should be replaced as a whole. You will be asked by sales leadership if you even know what you’re doing even when you have 10 years of experience under your belt. The sales team will always know more than you. Some of them have cussed out some of my colleagues causing them to quit because they made them feel so invaluable. •They have an HR their to help with onboarding and offboarding. They will do nothing with your complaints about leadership because they literally can’t even if they want to. •Overall this company needs a lot of work and they don’t deserve good recruiters.

Pros

You get to spend a lot of time dancing around like a monkey for these guys.And if you like monkeys, I guess that's a pro

Cons

There are app allows you to do absurd things. Because they don't have faith in people. And then they discriminate against you in ways which is federally illegal. But they don't care, because you'll continue to talk to AI. And when AI doesn't know what to say, it just starts repeating itself like a broken record. This app it needs updated
