This company being considered a minority company is a sham, the founder is a figure head. - Network Engineer World Wide Technology Employee Review

Pros

WWT Benefits are 2nd to none. CEO is an overall nice guy who you can trust. Working Remotely is a great benefit, even before the Pandemic. If you have a Sibling, Child, or Spouse, it is extremely easy to get them hired at WWT.

Cons

There is absolutely no diversity in upper or middle management. Other than the Founder (who is basically paid not to come around) HR VP and a new gentleman (Who was hired after I left in 1/20 ), you will find extremely low numbers from top to the bottom of this organization for minorities. WWT has org charts full of leaders that are either all white males or in the case of the PMO. predominately white women. African Americans have absolutely no chance to become Account Managers, Regional Managers, Engineering Managers, Solution Architects, Project Management Office Managers, and Business Consultants. These are all mid-level managers' positions. WWT prides itself on "Coaching people out" of the organization. If they feel you are not a good fit, they will coach you out. This practice should eliminate them from making any Top list. Lastly, there is an office called the J Strom Thurmond in South Carolina. Yes, the Senator that was against racial integration.

WWT is one of the largest African American owned companies in the US. We are very proud of our diverse culture throughout the organization including our executive team and our board. The comments you shared are unfortunate, inaccurate, and it’s disappointing that #glassdoor hasn’t removed them. Finally, we do not name our buildings after people.

Great benefits and the option to work from home.

Cons

Company culture took a hit when they started hiring former AB employees for management positions. Slowing becoming the good ol’ boys network.
