Good ole boy company personified - Recensione dipendente - Systems Engineer presso Insight

Alot of the management positions are filled by people that used to work with or for the CIO Michael Guggemos. That equates to alot of dead weight in management, especially in middle management. Several departments have managers of managers that their positions were created seemingly to provide a former coworker or buddy a well paying job. It is like a scene from the movie Office Space. There are meetings about projects or issues with 20 people on the phone and only 3 to 5 people are people directly working on the specific item and 15 or so "managers" all expressing their ideas or directions. The public view and motto at Insight is its a family. The private view is that it's an extremely dysfunctional family. Managers routinely get rid of people they don't like and bring in buddies, without any fear of reprisal or negative responses due to the HR departments rubber stamping of everything managers do instead of protecting teammates from attacks or abuse. Benefits are well below what they should especially for such a large, publicly traded company. Prescription benefits are extremely bad with the high deductibles that must be met before the actual savings kicks in. I believe the current deductible is somewhete around $6000 for prescriptions alone. Urgent Care copays are $75. PCP copays are $50. Both of which are over double of anywhere I've ever worked.
