IGEL has always been an odd company internally but after the founder stepped down and passed the torch to a new global CEO, things have gotten tremendously worse. The company preaches a motto of “people, product, passion” but it’s safe to say this is an absolute lie. IGEL does not care about the well being of their employees or their customers getting proper support unless it’s a huge name brand. Internal communication is terrible and everyone is constantly putting out fires. The sales team is micro managed, given very little guidance or enablement tools, and every year quotas seem to go up and pay goes down. All passion started deteriorating as soon as the new CEO took charge, and only got worse once IGEL was bought out by a private equity firm. Employees are dropping like flies and most people are looking for new jobs. IGEL’s executive leadership team has turned into a group of all Caucasian, egotistical, greedy human beings and the effects have trickled down into every department. Good leadership is a huge key to success and is something IGEL has always lacked in the US. Any good reviews you read have been posted in the past by directors and above who want equity but will most likely not receive any due to our manipulative and demoralizing leadership team. I only feel comfortable writing a review because multiple employees were either let go or “quit” recently, so the crazies up top will not be able to know for certain who this review is coming from. Others who have written negative reviews have been strong armed by leadership to remove them. This will not be one of those reviews. The outside world needs to know how toxic this company is so they don’t make the mistake of interviewing or accepting a job offer from people who condone unhealthy, long working hours, harassment, tremendous HR violations that get swept under the rug and the list goes on and on.
