Pros

The people are fun, there is a lot of energy, there is the opportunity to make some good money at a young age.

Cons

Where do I begin? This company recruits you straight out of college and tells you how much money you can make and all these trips and incentives you can win all while climbing up the corporate ladder and becoming a professional. The only issue is that only the top lucky 5% have this sort of success while the rest of the company struggles and eventually quits which is why this company has one of the highest turnover rates of any entry level Job I have ever encountered. The issue is that Insight Global has a major identity crisis. They pretend and pitch to you a professional workplace where the males are clean shaven and the women wesr heals when in reality, you have just been recruited into the worlds largest fraternity outside of college. You are invited to drink with your coworkers pretty much every night after work and the company creates almost a cult following in which it makes it almost difficult to interact with anyone not Insight Global affiliated. You are invited to conferences and trainings in which the sole objective of everyone there is to get as hammered as humanly possible and get laid. Essentially you have been convinced that you are bettering your career when you have been blinded by pretty girls, booze, and the possibility of making money all while now getting sucked into the worlds largest pyramid scheme. Management at these conferences will tell you that Insight Global is the best because of their customer service and hard work. I'm here to tell you that few people who work there takes the job or pride themselves on the service they deliver and upper management is concerned about one thing; making money off you before you leave. The environment that is created is one of extreme stress, constant uncertainty and serious toxicity. Everyone including management has inter-office relationships and the amount of sexual abuse that goes unaddressed in despicable. I myself was a victim on multiple occasions and escalated the issue all the way up to the VP level only to have them tell me that the culprit and my boss had been "reprimanded" while he maintained his title. If you want to stunt your career and feel like you are constantly being babysat like a kindergartner, then this is the job for you. If you value your career, your mental psyche and your character, I promise you that you do not want to work for this company. The nearly 2 years I spent in the New York City office I would not wish on my worst enemy.

Insight Global Response

We are sorry to hear about your concerns from your time at Insight Global. Forums like this are not the best medium to try and address all of the issues that were raised in your post, but we did want to take a moment and try and provide our perspective on two points. First, it is our sincere hope that every person that we hire succeeds with us. As you know from your time here, since our inception, we have only promoted from within the organization, so our growth has been entirely fueled by, and is dependent on, the success of the hardworking men and women that work with our clients to identify hiring needs and find talented people to fill those positions. Doing that well does require dedication and hard work, but we firmly believe that anyone willing to put in that effort can succeed with the processes that we have in place and that the opportunity they have here is not matched by any of our competitors. Second, we take very seriously our commitment to provide our employees with a safe, supportive and professional work environment. We encourage employees to report improper conduct, and we investigate all credible reports and take action that we deem appropriate to remedy situations where we determine people are acting in a manner that is inconsistent with our values. We will not comment on a specific internal personnel matter in a public forum such as this, but we can assure you that personal responsibility and accountability are concepts that apply and are enforced even handedly across all levels of the organization.

Pros

To be bluntly honest, anyone who is/was an internal employee of Insight Global that has anything negative to say about this company, is/was not cut out for this in the first place. The tools to become extremely successful are placed in front of you from day one - whether or not you choose to use those tools, is entirely up to you. YOUR success is in YOUR hands at Insight Global, and that is made known, again, from day one. If you are a self motivated, positive, hardworking individual, and you choose to put in the effort, you WILL SUCCEED. Do we work extremely hard? Absolutely. Do we learn every single day (even if we do so from making a mistake)? Yes. Do we hold employees to high standards? We most certainly do. And why? Because we want every individual who joins our team to grow to their full potential. Insight Global not only gave me a job as a student fresh out of college, but they gave me a job that allowed me to start my CAREER. I have been with the company for a little over two years now, and there is something to be said about a (now) 24 year old, who is genuinely excited about to going to work every day. I am beyond thankful to work for Insight Global - a company that believed in me enough to give me a chance as a fresh graduate, a company that continues to believe in me, believe in my goals and aspirations - a company that allows me to grow and reach those goals and aspirations, every. single. day.

Cons

If you don't want to work hard in order to become EXTREMELY successful early on in your career, you don't need to work for this company.

Pros

The environment is decent but not what it worked up to be. Each account manager goes into interviews knowing who the candidate is from Facebook so they are already judged.

Cons

They trick you into thinking you can make more than your salary but honestly you could work 60 hours a week and see no results.
