Pros

My manager was one of my favorite people. The area I sat was the best culturally. I would have worked for my manager forever. Work life balance was great

Cons

You can’t trust anyone at the highest levels of the company. They are quick to put blame on anyone lower than them. There’s no accountability. The CEO lies about stuff like who they laid off. She underpays her employees, but during holiday parties she took us on a tour of the “servant quarters” of her house. It was super uncomfortable.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for being a part of our team. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed working for your boss and department! I thought it was gracious of our CEO to welcome employees into her home and host a party there. We’re sorry that was an uncomfortable experience for you as that was certainly not the intention. It’s important to note that our CEO does live in a house that is over 100 years old and has an interesting history. She did point out some historical aspects of her house, like that there used to be a servant quarters there. She does not actually have servants living at her house. Wishing you the best, Christina, VP, HR

Pros

I enjoy the work itself supporting individuals and families in transition with career and relocation coaching and support. Having worked at IG for several years, I continue to be impressed with the skills and talents that coaches and employees have but also the engagement and commitment to the work that we do. Like all companies there are people who come and go but overall I have been impressed with the longevity of many of the account managers, coaches, and senior leaders. Over the years I have seen many people come back as well. It's nice that when people take a new opportunity they go with good wishes and sometimes come back a few years later if new opportunities arise. I appreciate that even when working remotely and part time you can get to know others through All Hand's calls, and coaching trainings and meetings. Over the years I have also enjoyed being able to work on projects aimed to improve our service and delivery. Perhaps what I like the best is that the company and leadership team are always open to new ideas. Not all can be implemented or be implemented immediately but many are and this allows us to constantly be staying on top of the needs of the people we work with. We even have opportunities to meet in small groups with the CEO from time to time and this is always refreshing to hear directly from her but also to learn from others in the room from different divisions.

Cons

For me there are not a lot. We do have to provide our own computer and equipment which as a part time coach I understand. It would be great to have an annual allowance that we could use to offset some of the expenses such as a paid AI service or Adobe for example that some people take on to make work more efficient.
