Pros

People on the front lines of consulting services are knowledgeable and nice.

Cons

Executive staff is all from CapGemini and they want Insight to become a cut-throat consulting firm. They had a sales reorganization last year which broke the pipeline so no new work was coming in for the delivery teams to execute. So they laid off delivery teams. They later admitted that the sales reorg was bad, and decided to change it up again, adding another self inflicted hiccup to the sales pipelines, and more delivery folks get let go. They’re focusing now on growth…but only if you’re an offshore engineer. They talk of hunger heart and harmony, but all that’s left is hunger for more work that they can’t staff since they got rid of most of their delivery employees. Benefits have been on the decline for a year. Less PTO, higher utilization requirements, worse health insurance. Clients are generally unhappy because after they make a relationship with a sales team, they’re then passed to internal sales folks which act like used car dealers. Then when the work starts, they get a revolving door of engineers because Insight can’t keep people around. Quarterly bonuses are done with funny math. Some folks work 60 hour weeks to get and extra $1k per quarter, others are on the bench half the time and get an extra $700 per quarter.

Pros

I can say that i really have a great manager. I'm on contract work, have been for 8 years. Our manager always lets us know how contracts are going. When the renewal talks are happening and when things get signed. You are kept in the loop. Its comforting and supportive. If a contract isn't renewed our manager is already on the hunt for a new opportunity for work. You feel the Heart and commitment to employees. Our work/life balance is great. Opportunities for training and skills are always available. The pay is good. Life is good.

Cons

I think my only con would be better options for insurance, but overall compared to other friends, our insurance is decent.

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.
