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

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
