Pros

- Great learning opportunity. - Access to a lot of industry leading programs and software. - Get to work with some amazing individuals. - Because turnover is so high, career opportunities can be described as high because spots are always opening up!

Cons

- Company has made a calculated choice a long time ago to suppress pay and continue paying below industry average. That view has not changed. - Turnover is high so company culture is thin. - Insight runs really lean. Example: I had no access to basic office supplies. Had to get supplies from teammates around me who had extra to spare. Insight is a multi billion dollar company... - Insight seems to care less about the work produced in front of them than academic accomplishments. I felt incredibly smart teammates got passed on for promotions simply because of their education, rather than for their work. - I was very unimpressed by upper management. Direct management had little understanding of the technical details of what the team was doing. C-suite individuals spent hours using flowery language that amounted to nothing and boiled down to: we need to do better, so be better. -Some good managers, but that's the exception.

Pros

Decent healthcare, with an onsite doctor if you are close enough Reasonable PTO, plus extra mental health days, as well as sick time Have employee assistance program

Cons

Everything else. The infrastructure team is considered and treated as the black sheep. WE are not included in company-wide initiative or get togethers. (Yes, they have performative inclusion, but try being the only tech support in a room full of Sales) The salary is horrific. Entry level starts ok, but then they flood you with additional responsibilities outside of your pay grade and then never actually pay you what you are worth. How it happens—Starting at a lower position and then being promoted to a title that no longer exists, so you'll keep your old title and just get new and more responsibilities. Then, they cap your salary at the lower position's top, and you have no way to advocate because you aren't "really" in that title. Then they will slowly erode the entire client base by making idiotic client promises that cannot be filled without intensive work, which all goes to a different team, and yours is phased out. All while they are stating we have great job security. 5 Layoffs/RIFs/Silent Termination waves in 6 years Removal of whole teams that support infrastructure, with no replacement—for example, axing the ENTIRE Quality Control team and having no replacement force, just telling individual teams to figure it out.
