Pros

If you are a remote Services employee, and work on a dedicated contract, the company leaves you alone and lets you do what that contract requires done. They do try, somewhat, to keep that contract.

Cons

The company is more focused on Sales, and not so focused on Services. The few Sales people who are assigned to go out, find Services contracts for the Services people to go work, and follow through on renewing those contracts don't cover their assigned area. They stick to the one major city, and that's it. This leaves remote dedicated Services guys in a lurch when a contract ends, is not renewed due to negligence, and no new contracts within 120 miles. The company advertises itself as a Global company, and markets itself as such. When it comes to Services, though, EMEA and APAC are not covered. This puts the company at a disadvantage, as they are unable to get Global Services contracts with Global clients due to no FTE EMEA or APAC presence (instead they contract to a partner on a short term basis) for companies that require Global contracts. The company is unwilling to put forth the effort to expand to these areas, even after it has been raised. The company's senior management seems unstable. Every month, at least 2 emails, sometimes more, come out about some member of senior management leaving, being reassigned, or being replaced.

Pros

Insight is not a bad place to start your career. Compensation is fair and they are willing to bring on people who are newer but willing to learn. Benefits are average. Insight can at times be a very fun place to work.

Cons

Advancing at Insight is almost impossible. They tend to hire from the outside rather than promoting from within. They are also unwilling to admit mistakes and fix them. They are more apt to continue with the original plan rather than step back and make changes. New ideas from staff level are met with pessimism. Morale is at an all-time low.
