Decent company but not one to work in a strategy or similar role... it's an old school sales environment - Manager WTW Employee Review

Pros

Great office in London Pockets of excellence in terms of people Some very good initiatives being developed and launched Good work-life balance

Cons

Ridiculous 'retention' scheme means that if you leave within 3 years of getting a bonus you have to pay a pro-rated amount back (i.e. leave after 18 months and pay back half). This is ridiculous when you consider that they typically pay well below average. If you have a blackberry, you have to take out your own insurance or replace the phone out of your own pocket. They actually hold people to this. Seriously. I wouldn't mind this so much if the blackberry were a perk, but it's not.

Pros

Learning everything about Life insurance, annuities and health

Cons

They are quite two-faced. Thry gas you up thinking you are doing well then turn around and terminate you for any slight. For instance---you must be on camera during training but we were told if we were sick or not feeling too well, we can ask for accomodation. With the understanding that it would be taken into consideration. Well...it isnt. They throw it back in your face. They do not like criticism. Say something wrong, you're done. They listen in on the classes and even if they think you said something the complete opposite of what was said and taken out of context, they do not care about the truth for you bruised their ego. Do not believe them when they tell you you are doing good during training. Its more about how much you want to be under WTW's influence. In other words, NO CRITICISM IS ALLOWED. I would write more but this should suffice.
