Pros

There are definitely people who care about their work and go the extra mile. The pay is decent. They do have some interesting perks like bring your dog to work day, family outings, lunch being brought in for the company by partners. They do promote from within.

Cons

I think your experience largely depends on where you work. Everything in Sales is a constant fire drill. Everything is last minute and frantic which leads to a lot of stress. Everyone seems frustrated, overworked and tired. For being a tech company, some of the systems are ridiculous. Would Insight tell a company who came to them for a reporting solution that they needed to create a report in Access from data in SAP and then compare it to data in Excel? These types of cumbersome processes are the types of things employees deal with everyday. The health insurance is high deductible, and isn't up to the benefits you find at other companies. The only bonuses given are to Sales. Unless you're a sales rep, there are no incentives, rewards or swag. How about recognizing the staff who helped your company achieve the sales? It's a clique-ish, high school environment. It was when I was there and my friends who are still there say it hasn't gotten any better. Sad. I'm told they had a re-brand this year, but it seems like the same old company.

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.
