Never received positive or negative feedback on any project I delivered. Even once when i was removed at client request, no one would tell me why. When I was let go I was also not told why.
They only seem to focus and care about huge projects from huge companies. Projects with companies like* UPS, American Airlines, Marriott, US Foods. *to my knowledge these are not companies that are clients of Insight Consulting Services, but you get the point. They want to get projects with these people so they can put 3, 4 or 5 consultants on that job for months at a time. Meanwhile this leaves the rest of consulting services straggling because how often do you realistically land whale clients? Multiple years I was there they let go of really good consultants because they didn't have enough work for them. This largely means SCCM and windows migrations. I was hired for my skill set in SCCM, SCOM, Orchestrator & automation. Not once did I do a project that actually involved automation or orchestrator. There is a distinct feeling that the sales team only cares about SCCM projects. In fact I was told by the practice architect that they only want to do projects that involve deploying infrastructure. Unfortunately they are going to get left in the dust as most people know how to deploy their own infrastructure these days and more and more services are going to the cloud which require no infrastructure setup.
They don't give their consultants hardware to run labs on them. They also don't give consultants access to labs, i was told quote "they're for the practice and sales teams only." They give out MSDN subs to certain consultants but not all. The consultants I saw that got them didn't even know what to use them for, IE free Azure Credits.
I worked there for 3 years and not once did I get to go to a Microsoft related conference. Meanwhile they would send 3/4 of the consulting team to Microsoft Ignite. But every time I asked to go to a conference I was told no.
The kicker for me though, was during Harvey, not my direct boss, or his boss, nor anyone from Insight at any time reach out to see if we were ok. I had to inform my boss and staffing that I was unlikely to full-fill any projects because of the hurricane.
