Pros

Unfortunately, I don't have many pros to list. You do get the opportunity to work with some fun, young people. But unfortunately, they are told the position will be one thing when it turns out to be something completely different. So, at least you have good people to be miserable with while you are still there.

Cons

The interview process was great with lavish dining, drinks and socializing. They seemed very welcoming and talked highly about their supportive team. After meeting everyone on the team I was ecstatic to begin a new career path in the world of recruiting. I have worked many years in Sales and so working hard for your money goes without saying. I was in it for the long haul. Once on board I quickly realized there was no training and management was never available when needed. Being new to the industry and having no technical background it is important to have support from your boss. I am resourceful and a quick learner. However, there is certain inside knowledge that someone with experience has and that was never available when it said it would be. What was even more disappointing was when you give feedback or advice it is taken extremely negatively. Being that it is a "start-up" you would think that all input would be considered and not brushed away.

Pros

Lots of virtue signaling. Halloween was huge.

Cons

IG has one of the most toxic workplace cultures I've experienced. Poor leadership, cliquish behavior, constant office drama, frequent verbal abuse, and an excessively loud work environment create a culture where professionalism takes a back seat. Success often seems less dependent on performance than on whether you're part of the "in" crowd. If a favored leader or influential employee decides they don't like you, your contributions quickly become irrelevant. Even when concerns are documented, supported with evidence, and raised through the appropriate leadership channels, employees can find themselves facing retaliation rather than resolution. Although the company advertises a hybrid work model, there is significant pressure to be in the office nearly every day, with employees who don't conform experiencing negative consequences. The company publicly promotes values around inclusion, respect, and corporate responsibility, but my experience did not reflect those messages. The gap between the company's external branding and its internal culture was striking. My direct manager regularly yelled, cursed at me, and made insulting remarks. Sexist jokes and comments from leaders were not uncommon, and management failed to address this behavior despite being aware of it. Instead of investigating concerns or holding people accountable, retaliation appeared to be the preferred response. After many years in the workforce, this was the most unprofessional and dysfunctional organization I've encountered. Before accepting a position, I would strongly encourage prospective employees to read reviews from former employees across multiple platforms and consider recurring themes carefully.
