WTW reviews

Horrible company training doesn’t cover anything on top of a part of the training required us to leave a review on the company *fishy* they have the new hires write good reviews to make the company look good.

- Lay-offs - I have worked here for 3 years. Recently when I signed onto work I received an invite for a 1-on-1 meeting for the same day with one of the upper-management staff. Here I was told that my position would be eliminated and I would therefore be laid-off. There was no indication that lay-offs would be coming or that the company was looking to downsize prior to this meeting. - PTO - While the PTO accrual rate at WTW is not bad, management oftentimes make it difficult to get your PTO approved even if you have ample available hours and let them know well in advance. Recently I requested a week of PTO for December (7 months away at the time). I was met with significant pushback on this request. - Micro-management - There were numerous times in which I would create reports and/or queries, have them approved by a more-tenured business analyst, and still receive pushback from management asking to further explain the methodology for these findings. This confused me as many of the managers do not have technical SQL knowledge, therefore causing my in-depth explanation to fall on deaf ears. - Excessive Meetings - There have been countless times in which I have been required to attend a meeting and or training that was either A) not at all relevant to my role or day-to-day activities, B) redundant in terms of training or discussing items I am already well familiar with, or C) upper executives essentially bragging about our profitability all while laying off tenured employees in the background. - Profit > Employees - As I spent more time at WTW, it became apparent that the corporations profitability and the salaries of the executives was vastly more important than the well-being and livelihoods of their employees. - Compensation - WTW does not provide raises to keep up with the rate of inflation. Expect to sometimes go two or more consecutive years without receiving a raise. - Onboarding - During the onboarding process, you will be faced with trainings related to countless different programs, best practices, and technical skills used by WTW. However, I quickly found that much of this information was not relevant to my position and that I would never use many of the programs I spent so much time learning during my day-to-day activities.
