Great Concept, Horrible Management

Pros

The mission of the organization is great, as are many of the people

Cons

The leaders of the company are tremendously self-centered and inexperienced. They expect others to take hits for the "mission" in salary and work-life balance, and judge those who do not. Leadership is often done immaturely, and it is clear that they bend the rules to benefit themselves and their favorites.

On behalf of Instigio, we thank you for leaving feedback for us. We appreciate hearing what we are doing well and what we need to improve upon. Over the past couple of years, we have made important investments in growing our Leadership team and our People Team. Our Board of Directors has also recently expanded; providing oversight over all major organizational decisions, as well as accountability to our Leadership Team. As a result of these investments, we believe that our employees' experience has improved. We invite you to communicate with us directly if there are any specific matters which we can help address or which should be brought to the attention of our Compliance Officer. We also welcome prospective Instiglians to contact us. We would be happy to put promising candidates in touch with current Instiglians so that they can learn more about the Instiglian experience. Avnish Gungadurdoss, Managing Partner

Pros

Instiglio is on the cutting edge of innovative finance for development - fast-paced, high-performance, growth and learning oriented culture - environment focused on taking initiative, opportunity for growth if you demonstrate high performance.

Cons

A fast paced environment means that the work is fast paced as well. During times of peak work, this can mean pulling long hours. Don't expect this to be a 9-5 job.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. As you mention, fostering a culture of learning and growth, as well as a constant drive for impact, is in Instiglio's DNA! We are working on some operational measures to ensure that the "high peaks" are manageable and that our teams are able to enjoy necessary and important rest. We truly appreciate the time you have taken to share your comments, as they help us serve our people better. Raul Rivero, COO

Pros

You work with talented and commited people who push you to learn and explore how to change the world. Your work and role has a deeper meaning, something not common in consultancy. You get the chance to travel and work directly with service providers.

Cons

You will be pushed out of your comfort zone in many ways. If you are ready to handle that, you will learn, grow and enjoy your day-to-day work.

It is truly great to hear that you found meaning in your work, enjoy the field trips, and had a positive experience with the team. You are right to say that Instiglians are often comfortable with uncomfort, and fostering a culture of learning and growth is truly in our DNA. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, as it allows us to better understand our strengths and areas of development. Raul Rivero, COO
