Pros

the company start as Hewitt Associates, then Aon Hewitt, then Alight Solution. Existing customers may keep the contract, some customer may know us because of old Hewitt Associates (when we are still considered a player in the HR domain).

Cons

Since the spin off from Aon, there is endless re-org and associated unbearable nepotism, on going cost cutting, many fresh graduate, veteran are forced out, I personally know 5 peers move to other firms in past 3 months. The firm went through offshore -> re-shore, now projects are shifting to offshore again to cut the cost. Already saw 2 round of layoff, rumor says 20% workforce cut but not sure when. Morale is pretty low.

Pros

Honestly, it’s hard to fill up the 20 word minimum: -Flexibility to work from home (double-edged sword) -Average pay and benefits -Genuinely nice co-workers

Cons

-Severely outdated technology and hardware that leads to overwhelming inefficiencies and frustration. -Lack of an internal database or filing system for documents, making it impossible to find resources anywhere. We still use a system from 10+ years ago... -Poor company culture focused on overwork... nobody takes breaks or goes to lunch, it’s almost frowned upon to take a moment to breathe. No team building, no activities - just work. -Staffing is spread thin and as a result work is often behind schedule, despite overtime hours. -Training and learning is derailed due to lack of man hours to provide instruction. Lackluster training program need improvement. -Few in-person interactions... everyone works from home or joins conference calls (even if they are all in the same building!); this is both isolating and inefficient in terms of communication and learning. Most managers are in a different time zone or work virtually. -Overwhelming focus on the client contact and not the actual user. I often feel we treat a lot of our participants poorly and no one really cares. -Lack of upward mobility; the company is full of lifers and you cannot get a promotion from your entry level job unless your manager retires. -Very little meaningful or challenging work on a day to day basis. Most of the time is spent babysitting off-shore colleagues and making sure they are actually doing their work.
