Pros

Great Executive leadership at the CEO level. Strong willingness to invest in technical resources.

Cons

Core values are preached inside the walls on a daily basis, but as the years have passed and as the company has gotten larger, those values are ignored more and more. It seems more evident that the values are followed and mentioned when it is convenient, but not when it actually matters and a true business or personnel decision needs to be made. Company needs to pay more attention to the culture in the field offices and not just HQ. If you are not at HQ on a permanent basis, or a part of that "click" it is very difficult to advance as there is definitely favoritism and more loyalty paid to those from STL as opposed to those in the field. With respect to diversity, I personally do not see how we can claim being a diverse company, as from my point of view it is one of the least diverse companies I have seen or work with. There are a number of females in the company, but that is about it. Outside of that, it is shockingly bad. It was most evident to me at this past leadership meeting as well as the last operations meeting. Pictures that were posted from both those meetings should have been evidence that the company needs to diversify more. Especially in its leadership.

Thank you for your feedback. We are always trying to find better ways to spread the culture of WWT to our remote locations. While I think we have done a really good job in some locations, we always have room for improvement. We continue to invest in onsite Executive Roundtables, Town Hall meetings, employee surveys and other meetings to solicit feedback from our employees. I think frequent meetings by video are also helpful for employee cultural engagement. We are also focused on improving in areas of diversity and are currently developing company-wide initiatives which will continue to reinforce our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We were honored to receive recognition for being a great place to work for diversity and for women through the Great Place to Work Institute and will continue to focus our efforts in this area. I would be happy to discuss this with you or I can get you in touch with Vice President of Human Resources as well. Thanks again and best of luck.

Pros

My manager was very supportive she would give great feedback and try to help me grow . The people were awesome. My coworkers were great and supportive.

Cons

For all the projects we had regional managers there was one that had it out for me. This person was relentless and I went to my manager. The problem I had with this person was they never stop coming after me and my manager tried to stop this person in their tracks, but they tried a way to come after me. My manager’s manager was kind of not a good manager because he was all about the numbers and he didn’t care about the person. He never once had a one-to-one conversation with me I noticed that he played favorites with people and it’s just not good to do that. I believe that as a senior manager, you have to get to know your team instead of hearing what other people say. There was a senior project manager out there who essentially threw me under the bus. When people would resign, all of the projects that were left behind by the previous person they would dump it on one person. It is a lot of work to dump on a person. Some managers would help you grow and there are others that will do the work behind your back on a project. There was one who would start adjusting my project numbers and get mad at me. Mind you this was my first year and this manager would throw me under the bus. “Great Workplace?” Please
