Pros

Department has a lot of leeway to decide what they want to do and how to run things. Work culture is good, fun people everywhere and theres a reason most of our employees have worked for WTW for over 20 years. Lots of communication from teams and outside our department (maybe too much tbh)

Cons

Upper management and board room are very greedy, we see record profits and growth but they cut our pay and we now only hire from the cheapest possible place. I think the culture of upper management and the board/CEO are not very reasonable and just focus on increasing stocks and dividends rather than productivity and employees. If it continues like this then we will see departments hollowed out and their capacity for managing projects will be diminished.

Pros

Great low cost benefits, generous pay, remote work and great team environment

Cons

Onboarding is a little slow but once you get a flow, you’ll get up to speed quickly

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
