Insight Global
Reviews and Complaints

I was set up for failure the minute I signed with Insight. I interviewed for a Microsoft PM role at the beginning of the year.

The role was described to me as being primarily project management/customer service based, which is where my experience lies. However, a few weeks in, I realized that the job I was being asked to do was not AT ALL reminiscent of the job description or what was presented to me in the interview. It became abundantly clear that the role was not clearly defined, and as a result I was thrown into a situation where it was almost impossible to succeed. Most of my day was spent working on data-analysis and using complex financial programs I had no familiarity with.

I repeatedly reached out to my Insight Rep/manager for training/assistance, but I was given none. I communicated my concerns to my Rep about a month in, and he reached out to the client multiple times, communicating my concerns. Leadership provided no feedback or support and I was essentially ignored. It was clear that the client was very disorganized, did not have the position fully defined, and I was not set up for success.

A few months in, I got a call from my Rep on a Sunday evening letting me know that the Microsoft team had discovered that the job was best suited for someone more senior, with very specific experience pertaining to data analysis, and that the previous Friday was my last day and that "my services would no longer be needed by the MSFT client". My Insight Rep was apologetic and agreed that this was a "uncommon" situation and I did nothing wrong. Thus, I was put out of a job with no warning and no advance noticed. To make things worse, at the time, I was about two-weeks shy from being able to qualify for unemployment benefits, and I expressed this to my Insight Rep, hoping they would allow me to work for two more weeks, considering the circumstances.

He informed me that unfortunately the client "did not have the budget". I had a hard time believing this was the case due to the fact that they were prepared to hire and pay an FTE, senior individual to take over the role after I left. All and all, Insight put me in a VERY difficult situation, financially and personally, both of which I am still recovering from. My experience with Insight incredibly disappointing, stressful and frustrating, and I will not be recommending this company to anyone.

Finally, the health benefits are essentially non-existent. It's pretty much 100% out of pocket. The premiums are OUTRAGEOUS and not at all affordable (around $450+ a month), especially considering the non-competitive wages. I am now with a consulting firm in another MSFT role, and it is truly heaven on earth in comparison to Insight.

It's truly night and day. There are many, many consulting companies out there that are way better then Insight: wage-wise, support-wise, and ethically- AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

I worked for them through many jobs and had a lot of bad experience. First job, they informed me it would be 6 months - 1 year contract.

Within one month, I was let go. My manager informed me that Insight global was incorrect and the job was only meant for month. Second job, I was working Sundays and the law states that all employees that work Sundays are suppose to be given "Time and a Half". Had to fight in court to get it and then they fire me.

Sued them again for my job back. Third job, they skipped paying me three weeks in a row. I had to call a attorney and take this issue to court just to get my money.

Everyone I spoke to (that worked for Insight Global) stated that the company is deceitful, corrupt, and criminal. Take my advice and find a different contracting company to work for.

they're mostly college graduates.. After having hired student staff and managed them.

I can tell you. They are immature at that age. The ones who aren't are the ones who go far. But the ones who are, are mediocre at best..

I got this sense from Insight Global when I went into their office and interviewed, two recruiters came in, one offering a position out of the blue in addition to the one I spoke about with the original recruiter over the phone. they were dressed like they were out of the 80s. I could tell they only have a bachelor's degree. 100% not qualified to recruit for data science roles.

I had a PhD, why am I wasting my time with them?

I actually did ask this during the interview because it was only a 10 minute interview, but their office is downtown dallas.. basically don't waste your time with this company.

This is not a EOE company. They fired me Friday night.

7:00pm. Way after business hours. They did not drug test me. They did not do a background check until a week later.

Fired me For a Misdemeanor. They wouldn’t pay me for the 40 hours I’ve work. Their. Internet web site needs updating and does not work-timesheet download.

Doesn’t work. The id. And passwords they gave me didn’t work. Someone needs to sue this company to the ground.

I worked for a level one Security door policy company. The company I worked for. Loved me. And did not fired me.

Insight global did. At 7:00pm Friday night. Never been fired at night time. Four after the business closed.

Usually when you get fired they take your badge and your ID cards and then escort you off the property. This company is so unprofessional.

It sicken me. Thank you.

In short, use them if you want to hear about some leads, but THAT'S IT. Don't rely on them, and apply separately from them- even to the companies they have supposedly hooked you up with an interview.

They act as a sort of 'middle-man' for companies searching for a segmented labor pool, but half of them end up dropping your interview scheduled through this company- I would honestly like to know how seriously companies take applicants if they're scheduled through Insight Global. Either that, or some of their recruiters (mostly post-collegiate party animals) lack thoroughness.

If you want to be thorough with your own job search then DO IT YOURSELF. I feel gaslit after dealing with them- they're polished and present well, but lack follow-through and cheapen what you should just do yourself.

I was contacted by Onsight Recruiting (Lindsey Darling) about a project in Muskogee. I was given a vague description of the job.

Was told I would use a screwdriver and would possibly step up on a step ladder. I was not able to finish the project. They did not let us have breaks at all. The lunch break was about 20 minutes by the time you walks out of the huge building.

The supervisor wanted us to climb 6 ft tall step ladders almost to the top and reach over our heads with both hands to take scanning equipment off the ceiling. I almost fell off the ladder. By the time I left after an 8 hour shift; I could not hardly walk. I emailed the recruiter as soon as I finished the shift as she was already out of the office.

As of this morning (5 days after I worked) I had not received any communication from them at all. I emailed her back explaining that the assignment was not safe. Her reply was, "Thanks for clarifying.

Im sorry the job wasnt what you expected, best of luck in your future endeavors!" They are not interested in good workers. They are only interested in working you like a mule!

I have been trying to get a paycheck for sometime from insight and I keep getting the run around from Joe Madsen stating he put in a request it's been since April 24th I have been waiting to get paid and i also contacted their corporate office in Atlanta and they never answered. So now I am working with L & I to get my pay and may have to hire an attorney.

I don't reccommend them to anyone. If they call you hang up!

I never approached them they approached me after stalking monster.com and I would be aware that they will hire people before their paperwork is finished and if it doesn't pan out and you went to the job everyday they have no intention to pay for the time that you spent going to work. Time that could have been spent looking for a real job with real pay.
