Pros

Overall, CWT has a good work culture. It's a very laid back work environment, flexible work schedules, you work from home two days a week, & I never experienced any micro-management issues. There is also a great opportunity for professional growth. CWT paid for various training & certifications (when able).

Cons

CWT was severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. CWT had to furlough over 70% of its global workforce. Before COVID, CWT was trying to recover from economic hardships over the years. They withheld yearly merit raises in 2017 & do not offer employees yearly performance bonuses. I just felt that CWT was always struggling financially as a company & that is stressful on top of everything else.

Pros

Solid salary and benefits, recognition and opportunity for growth across job function and/or upward. Cross-team interactions and collaborations are open and approachable.

Cons

Senior leadership over the last 10 years has eroded the culture and viability. Current mid-management leaders are relatively new to roles and lack mentoring, training or clarity of direction.

Pros

Working remotely, great working environment.

Cons

Navigating two separate layoffs both before and after an acquisition is challenging for anyone, especially when your future is unclear. Being laid off in 2024 rehired in 2025 and then released again after being assured my role was secure only added to that uncertainty. I fully understood the risks of returning to CWT during such a transitional period, but the experience highlighted how crucial clear communication and consistent leadership are during an acquisition. This was not about the work or the people both of which were positive but rather about how the transition from CWT to Amex GBT was managed. My hope is that sharing this helps future employees understand the environment and encourages stronger communication during periods of change.
