Pros
A great place to learn! Excellent study support Friendly culture Young company and very social Supportive of learning Coworkers collaborate well and do not compete or judge 7% pension contribution is great
Cons
In the UK, the head office is in Reigate, which is in the middle of the countryside and very inconvenient to reach by both public transport and car (parking spaces are only given after working 4-5 years at the firm) Hours can be long. Not a good place to earn! Career progression can be slow especially for technical, non-client facing roles Career progression very much related to the time worked at the company, rather than your performance or the value you add. No reward on hard work, promotion is the same as it is related to the time you've worked at the firm and bonuses are standardized Very difficult and political to move teams, and limited opportunity to move across geographies despite being a global company Managers only care about their own team and don't care about the company as a whole, limiting employees opportunities to learn how the business works Every role in Towers Watson is very specialist due to the size of the firm, limiting future prospects and hindering exit opportunities
