Is this your company?

It’s an unfortunate place to work and very toxic - Account Director Inspired Thinking Group Employee Review

Pros

ITG started off as a dream. An amazing introduction of people telling me the best things about the company of 2 weeks, process flows, and slowly being let out into the real ITG world.

Cons

Overworked. Underpaid. Inexperienced leadership team in the creative side of the business who don’t know what industry standards are. ITG becomes a very negative and toxic place to work after awhile. I started off in a very positive place, then I was put down by my manager, I was unsupported, overworked and eventually made to feel so bad about myself and my confidence that I had to leave. ITG does not care about people, I had a wellbeing champion call me crying down the phone saying how they couldn’t say anything, how toxic the environment their situation was and how they hated their life at ITG. Multiple people did this across the company, which is so saddening and scary.

Pros

• Fully remote • I loved the work, my boss, and my team (but the client was allowed to run wild) • Promotes diversity (but the formerly robust DEI program at PureRed silently vanished when ITG took over) • Unlimited PTO policy

Cons

I was a victim of the sixth or seventh round of of layoffs within under two years—and there's been another round this month—due to "offshoring" jobs ("rightsizing", "competing in a global marketplace", "globalization", "nearshoring", blah, blah, blah). ITG f/k/a PureRed cares FAR more about money than people. They're axing very talented, hard-working, and driven people only to replace them with cheaper labor in South America and South Asia (while claiming "it's not about cheaper labor"). The company's goal is absolutely to replace all subexecutives with "offshored" labor. ITG claims to be different and better with claims of "transparency" and a "culture of kindness", but they're just like all the other corporate machines with cronyism, high-paid executives (some of whom who get golden parachutes after mergers and buyouts), very low-paid worker bees, and a bunch of lip service. I've never been more disappointed in a company. Just be evil and own it. Stop lying to everyone. And PLEASE stop the crocodile tears, leadership. Have some self-awareness. You've axed people who make very little money in one of the worst job markets in years. Spare us the theatrics.

Hi There, thank you for your feedback, its disappointing to hear that your experience with ITG / PureRed wasn't the best - 2025 saw some difficult trading conditions as well as economic and political challanges, and led to some difficult decisions being made - That said we do acknowledge the impact this had on some of our teams - Our Wellbeing and Diversity programs are still as strong as ever and remain an amazing source of support for our global teams. I hope you are prospering now and enjoying your work.
