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

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.
