Pros

- flexibility working from home (before COVID) - DC pension plan - 401k match - good company to start a career or make a career transition

Cons

- lack of diversity and minorities in management or upper levels. - no career growth. As a business analyst the only tract they want to keep you on the is the BA tract - too much variance across groups and LOBs. Some work more efficiently and equally than others - expected to work 45 hours a week (leadership asked all workers to add 5 extra hours a week) - benefits are lacking. For the business WTW is in, we should have the best benefits since we have relationships with so many vendors. - terrible pay raises (average is under 2% each year). Even with a promotion you receive the same pay increase. - promotions are hard to achieve. You have to work in the level or position you want at least a year before they will consider you. I saw a lot of people being worked at levels above them for years before they were promoted. - as with a lot of corporate companies bonuses are really discretionary

Overworked, underpaid, undervalued.

Pros

Great people. Loved most of the people I worked with and there were a lot of really smart people. Very flexible work schedule, plenty of PTO, good benefits.

Cons

The workload is insane. I was constantly swamped, even as a re-hire with plenty of relevant experience and company knowledge. Project timelines and deadlines were not reasonable. Underpaid for the value the role brings to the firm. Basically impossible to get a good raise. Hard to move up and the company actually disincentivizes you to get promoted - you have to basically do the job for a long period of time before getting the title. Once you get the promotion, you get a disrespectfully poor salary increase and more work/responsibility. Makes no sense.

Pros

- Portfolio of solutions to support clients with practically any need they could have - Reasonably competitive pay - Incredibly intelligent, strong and just great people throughout the company - Thought leaders

Cons

- Leadership is dangerously incompetent at nearly every level. Sadly, failed leaders continued to fail upward - WTW waited for over two years for Aon to save their sinking ship; No hiring to backfill roles, more and more got placed on the shoulders of the remaining colleagues - Despite talking about growth, they did not walk the walk and support sellers
