Pros

Good variety of work to explore and learn. Opportunity to learn and grow professionally. Many office locations.

Cons

Not paying overtime. Cannot count year end bonus as a payoff for overtime because it changes every year. High amount of work. Not much activities between the employees to know each other.

Training is a central commitment of WGI. We continue to hear that our team desires constant training and we remain focused on providing access to new and better training. Look for future improvement in 2020 as we roll out our Learning Management System as one of many components of our new Human Capital Management System. 2020 budgeting is well underway, and we can assure you that a generous commitment to internal and external learning is in our plan. For many years WGI has focused on a culture of rewards based on performance. You are correct, a lot of thought is behind our incentive compensation plan, and it’s designed to provide exceptional rewards for exceptional performance. Payment for overtime tends to create a system of paying for time rather than paying for efficiency. Our goals include recognizing the highest performers with the highest overall pay AND encouraging the least possible overtime, allowing our professionals to spend down time with family, friends and loved ones. If you overtime is excessive, we want to know- please speak up so that we can address this situation appropriately. Activities are location based, and we encourage each office to provide opportunities thorough the year. Likewise, please feel free to take the lead and organize the next after hours event for your location!

Thank you for your comments. WGI is proud of our work environment and we strive to create a safe, comfortable, challenging and rewarding space for professionals to collaborate. Great projects come to WGI because great people attract great clients with unique opportunities to fulfill their dreams. Great people attract great projects and the result is a growing and thriving firm. Office space planning is particularly challenging for two types of firms- those that are contracting and those that are growing. WGI is very fortunate to be a decades long growth firm and with that success comes the challenge of predicting whether we will have enough space, or be caught in tight quarters while we await new floor space. From a business perspective, no firm with sound leadership wants to pay for unneeded space on leases that can have 10 or more years of guarantees. That bleeds significant capital that is better used for benefits, training, employee recognition, healthcare incentives or our incentive compensation plan. Thanks for voicing your concern and it's something we continue to work on getting right.
