Pros

Large company full of high performing individuals. Good exposure to different types of technologies.

Cons

WWT is always listed as a great place to work by Forbes, but it might be useful to understand how they get on that list. They communicate this within their company, over and over, ad nauseum. You are called out if you don't fill out the survey and rank them high. The Forbes list is pushed all the time, all year long. The result is they become more about being named on the list than truly being a great place to work. They have ERG's for LGBTQIA+, Women, POC, etc. however those groups get almost no budget or support from the actual decision makers. They forced Christian prayer sessions during Covid (!!!) and didn't offer alternate religions or a supportive space that wasn't prayer. They often send communications from a religious standpoint which alienates non-religious people. They say they are inclusive; they are not. I, personally, received negative retaliation for coming out. This company only cares about money. They do not have a positive environment, do not care when people may be going through periods where they have to disengage or work a little less to deal with a family issue. If you do not perform at the highest level, all the time, it will not go over well. They do not let you forget mistakes and everyone is always on pins and needles. It's truly one of the most toxic places I've ever worked despite always getting glowing reviews.

Thank you for your review. At World Wide Technology, being a Great Place to Work for All is built into our company mission and core values. We continue to work towards this goal every day, and encourage our employees to participate in the survey and other avenues in order to give honest feedback about our workplace and culture. While we do allow religious expression, including prayer calls, led by employees we do not require attendance for those who have different belief systems, and would encourage others to hold space for religious practices within their communities if desired. We would encourage you to discuss your concerns in more detail with Human Resources if you are open to this.

Pros

Great early years culture… Smart / Top Tier Talent and Capabilities

Cons

Lost what made them special… culture made obvious shift from “People are our Greatest Resource” to “We are a Numbers Driven Organization”… Think that corporate event closing comment changed around 2018/2019
