Pros

Challenging work with multiple deadlines. Good for energetic person - that is, one that is not afraid to put in a lot of extra hours. Managers show respect for employees and are generally forward thinking.

Cons

Very large company with recent mergers is still feeling its way. Not a whole lot of communication from senior management; decisions made top down with little or no employee feedback. Company was looking to streamline and jettison senior employees.

Pros

Knowledgeable coworkers (who will eventually get poached).

Cons

I am a legacy Willis employee (prior to the WTW merger) and have always been shocked at the utter lack of structure. The only thing they truly value is revenue production. The leadership is mostly arrogant and incompetent. Too much dependency on external consultants. Very limited benefit package. They also stopped providing employee stock options...

Pros

The best part of about my time at Willis towers Watson is learning a industry that I had no experience in. The work load is heavy so it teaches you how to adapt.

Cons

The culture of Willis Towers Watson "Service center " is very unprofessional. My onboarding class was lead by a woman who stated "I don't need to know your name because most of you won't be here long" . She was completely correct. They hire to fire, I came in with a class of 12 and they fired them all in a four month span. The hire for open enrollment and then once you are not needed they build a file of every error you've had to fire you. Unfortunately I was a asset, so I have kept my position. But only by a thin string. If you are a minority you will have to be twice as good as your peers. And don't you think about challenging authority because you will shamed through the whole service center. This is a environment where you have to stroke you manger or team leads ego for advancement. Your skill has very little to do with it. They all make you feel replaceable and always promoting a dirty fight between peers for advancement.
