Pros

You have the opportunity to work for a company with pretty much all young people with type A personalities that are fresh out of college.

Cons

Where to start here...the cons are endless. Insight Global is set up much like a pyramid scheme. The CEOs and upper management are compensated very well, while the people at the bottom half are worked like slaves (50 hrs/wk +) and are only paid $28,000. You are expected to eat, sleep, and breathe the compnay. If you do not hang out with people from work during all of your free time, it is "frowned upon". Promotions are given out based on favoritism (i.e. a popularity contest) rather than competence and work ethic. Employees are micromanaged so heavily it seems as if there is someone breathing down your neck constantly. All in all, I would say this is a terrible place to work and I am very glad I found another job. Going back to the pro (working with all young kids fresh out of college), the reason Insight Global does this is simple; college kids are the only ones naive enough to buy into the crap that the company tries to sell people on ("you will make 100K in your second year with the comapny").

Pros

Beer on Friday's...trust me, you will need it

Cons

No work/life balance. They expect you to hang out with them after work and the company is very political. If you want to advance, you need kiss butt. Terrible offices with no privacy for phone conversations with potential clients, terrible benefits, and very very long hours. No matching 401k or anything because they try to sell you on "private stock"
