Pros

Remote work is nice. Customers were great too… at least before many of them started drifting toward competitors. Pay is decent, and if you're a professional “yes” person or cruising toward retirement, you might actually enjoy the stability and perhaps some gossip (wink wink).

Cons

Where do I start? Feels like stepping into a time machine set to the 90s - same people, same egos, same ways of working. Lots of “I know a guy” hiring, so half the org feels like a friend group chat that accidentally turned into a company. The job you think you’re accepting in the interview? Yeah, that gets reinterpreted once you’re actually in it. If you’re even a tiny bit innovative or you like challenging the status quo, prepare to be quietly (or not so quietly) dragged back down. New ideas tend to die fast because they don’t fit the comfort zone of the long-timers. And despite all the talk about “digital solutions” and “building apps,” at the core it’s still the same old color personality PDF report dressed up as something more futuristic. And of course, your Insights profile becomes less of a self-awareness tool and more of a label people use to poke your supposed weaknesses. Ironic for a company built on “understanding people.”

Pros

I've very much enjoyed the time spent at Insights so far. The company is headquartered in Scotland, but have an office in Austin. Everyone I've met that works here has been incredibly kind and welcoming. While this may differ from team-to-team, I've had a lot of great support from my managers and the IT team. I would say the pay and benefits are competitive when compared to other positions on the market for my role.

Cons

With a lot of the company being remote, sometimes communication can get a bit lost between teams.
