I recently completed the multi-round interview process with Insight Global, and I must say it left me with significant concerns about the company's culture and priorities. The process itself was extensive: an on-campus in-person interview, a second round with the sales manager, a third round with an account manager and sales manager, and finally, an on-site interview at their NYC office. The last round involved creating and presenting a sales presentation to two directors and a sales manager, along with a tour of the office and meeting the team.
While I appreciated the focus on sales throughout the process and initially felt a connection with the team, my experience during the on-site interview was disappointing. The company culture appeared to be heavily centered on superficial values. The environment felt more like a sorority recruitment event than a professional workplace, with an overemphasis on appearances, image, and social status. There seemed to be little regard for diversity or inclusivity, and the atmosphere suggested that they valued individuals primarily based on their perceived wealth and class.
One of the most frustrating aspects was the lack of respect for candidates' time and resources. Despite flying to New York City for the final round, the company did not provide any form of compensation for travel or accommodations—not even a modest stipend. For a company of this size, this felt incredibly inconsiderate and unprofessional. Furthermore, the base salary for the position, set at $48,000, was shockingly low for a role based in NYC, where the cost of living is notoriously high.
Adding to the disappointment, I received no constructive feedback after being rejected in the final round. This lack of communication and closure was disheartening, especially after investing significant time, effort, and personal expenses into the process.
From my experience, it’s evident that Insight Global does not adequately value candidates' time or efforts. If they fail to recognize and respect the dedication of prospective employees during the hiring process, it raises serious concerns about how they treat their employees once hired. I would caution anyone considering a role here to carefully weigh these factors before proceeding.
