Insight Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Insight full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – I was stationed at a client site in the Tampa FL area 5 days a week. My boss who was not a technical guy what so ever never came around

Cons – There was no room for advancement and everything that upper management ever promised me such as raises and paying for certifications never happened. My job as a systems engineer was sort of a dead end job.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Insight full-time for less than a year

Current Employee – been working at Insight full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Many talented teammates to work with that have experience in many fields of technology and sales.

Cons – Internal promotion and salary guidance is prohibitive of a long term career within Insight.

Advice to Senior Management – I think it's important to evaluate the processes for employee development and internal career growth. We do a great job of bringing in external talent but sometimes the pay scales cause that talent to leave or internally grown talent to find opportunities elsewhere.

Former Employee – worked at Insight full-time for less than a year

Pros – Salary and that's it. There's nothing I can say about Insight that would be considered a "Pro" in any way shape or form.

Cons – Everything else.

From withholding work product from customers, to outright incompetence at almost every level (field engineer to management), project coordination and project management are the worst of any "professional" services organization I've ever seen.

Advice to Senior Management – None, I don't think anything will help Insight. At this point, they're the laughing stock of the professional services industry.
