Pros

They help you get your foot in the door of whatever company you work for.

Cons

Most of the reviews here are from recruiters that they forced to rate the company highly. I got recruited to work as a contractor through them about 2 weeks after I gradated with my Bachelors. My advice is to skip the middle man and apply directly to the company you want to work at. Working under Insight Global is a scam. Even if you put aside the significantly cut wages, no PTO, a scam of a benefit program, no paid holidays, and no raises, they are not a company that cares about you. You are just a number to them. This was especially demonstrated when I got news my father passed while I was at work and I had to make up the 30 minutes I took to leave early, or else I wouldn't get paid for them. There is also no bereavement leave. They will nickel and dime you for every second, even if you have worked under them for over a year. If the company you work at gives their employees a paid holiday, you have to work 10 hour days for that week to make up the hours, and it is not always guaranteed they will let you. They take advantage of new grads looking for work straight out of college. Whoever you are, whatever degree you got is worth more than the terribly unprofessional relationship you will get out of Insight Global. Their communication abilities are a mess, I was always confused as to who my "handler" was, and they took forever communicating with my company to get my Secret Clearance. I was counting down the days until I got converted to an employee at my current company. A week later, and I'm still getting emails to sign Insight's time sheet, so they don't even know I don't work for them anymore. Stay away!

Pros

Can make good money, your coworkers are great

Cons

- work 7:45-5pm every day and will be questioned if you leave early - "hybrid" is onsite mon-fri with no flexibility - management is absolutely insane in every way - zero diversity, only hire blonde women in their 20s - base salary is laughable and you will be making that for at least a year if not more - management will play favorites and that has a direct impact your paycheck - constant work drama - no rewards for hard workers - benefits are a JOKE - 401k match is $250/year, health insurance is terrible, and zero perks of the job
