Outstanding client portfolio, but overall the firm's grey-hair management/ senior partners still stuck in the 80's! - Anonymous employee WTW Employee Review

Pros

Fantastic clientele, mainly FTSE100/Fortune500 firms Varied projects and challenging work Generous benefits - pension (DC), car allowance, leave etc... If you are an actuary it's a great place to work, if not, look elsewhere!!

Cons

Lots of grey-haired partners and management with traditional views and outlook Lack of commercial and dynamic leadership Long hours, if you are an actuary - work work work, till the cows come home! Career progression not as clear cut, particulary moving from Band 4 to 5....forget about 6!!!

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.
