Insight reviews

Not always fair with commissions, too many different plans and budgets depending on reps.

If you’re not part of the DXC alumni, then life at Insight isn’t so good. Insight’s claim to be a “Great Place to Work” is just a badge the company buys to disguise the fact that nothing could be further from the truth and the corporate strapline of Hunger, Heart and Harmony (sic), is pushed so hard on the Induction Course you feel brainwashed. The Induction is just the start of the gaslighting process. Whilst you may consider yourself reasonably competent from previous employments, you’ll quickly find yourself being told how to do your job by the ex-DXC’ers and find yourself on the bottom of the two-tier system gazing up to a glass ceiling. The level of toxicity and apathy this generates in the non-ex-DXC part of the workforce is unlike anything you’ll experience elsewhere. There is no real point in making any real effort as no matter how hard you try then aside from a few platitudes from management there will be no tangible reward or recognition. Beyond this the level of nepotism by senior management is unbelievable and whilst the concept of hiring people you know and trust can’t be argued with, they also need to be competent. Recruiting so many new staff from the same old company just stagnates any potential of diversity and innovation in the business and assumes the previous company’s toxic culture – let’s be honest, DXC was far from a great place to work. That leaves you with two choices – follow the example of many in quiet quitting, keep quiet and embrace the world of mediocrity for as long as you can retain your sanity or move on. If you chose the latter, you can at least be heartened that recruiters are becoming wise to the cult of Insight not being a complete mess so will be understanding of your desire to escape.
