Pluspunten

Project teams were generally nice to work with. Pay was decent, remote work was great.

Minpunten

During last month's town hall, everyone was informed that Insight was hiring junior team members and building them up to cut costs, opening up the way for senior team members into leadership. They said they wouldn't start just mass lay offs like other tech companies because supposedly that's not their culture. Insight hired a ton of project coordinators alright, but the next month after, they fired a bunch of Project Managers and Sr. Project Managers -- many in their 50s and 60s. They also laid off several architects and Sr. Architects, hiring associate engineers instead. If I did not need their severance to hold me over to the next job, basically forcing me to sign their severance agreement, I would have hired a lawyer for age discrimination review. In addition, great way to be client-oriented by laying them off before they get a chance to wrap things up -- nice way to air out all your dirty clothes.

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

Minpunten

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.
