I was recruited right before I graduated from college and thought I had really lucked out. Although the company has a lot of room for growth you reeeaaally have to sip the koolaid to get anywhere. The hours are long but that isn't necessarily a con, your looking at 50 hours per week bare minimum. Extraordinarily high turnover rate. They churn through new college grads quicker than Tiger Woods goes through mistresses. If I had to guess, for every recruiter that is promoted to account manger there are 2 people that either quit or are let go. The office is basically a giant clique, if you don't fit in to their liking you are a duck sitting in water. Not a whole lot of diversity in the company either, I dare anyone to find a woman (particularly recruiters and account managers) who is not moderately attractive. There also seemed to be a lot of talking behind the backs of others. Also, little to no work - life balance although for those that fit in well this isn't really a concern because people from the office hang out basically all weekend. I'm not certain if this is accurate but I heard a story of an account manager who was so gung-ho and sipped the koolaid so hard that they literally lost their mind temporarily and was told to work less (yes, that can happen if you work 70-80 hours a week regularly). Really the last thing that I found to be a con is the fact that they literally prey on young, inexperienced, naive college grads who have no real world experience beyond internships.
Overall Insight was a good experience in that it showed me what I didn't want to do. Definitely not for everybody. I would rather care about the product I sell rather than offer false hope and use people constantly.
