Pros

Deceivingly beautiful building, grounds, and benefits.

Cons

Gross incompetence rewarded, but severe punitive consequences for anyone who calls it out. IT and the PMO did "witch hunts" to transfer accountability and blame from real problems, and altered data to support their employment decisions. Executive leadership had no idea what was going on because facts were hidden from them.

Pros

Excellent Benefits Great Environment Management Team that Truly Cares Great Culture and Values Wonderful Cafeteria Provides insurance training on-site Fun environment

Cons

Although my drive isn't that far, sometimes I wish I lived closer. As the company grows, continue the family feeling that has made WBMI special.

Pros

The facilities. Some good employees that work hard. The pay was good. I struggle to find much more to say about the IT Org.

Cons

My viewpoints are purely on the IT Organization. I do not have much experience on the business side. Overall IT maturity is very immature in their people, process, and technologies. The management there is a dictatorship. They are very unprofessional. They lack experience. They have no idea how to motivate employees. Leadership for them is through intimidation, and not through inspiration. To make up for their lack of abilities they micromanage. They don't support their employees. In fact I've seen them throw people under the bus in front of large groups. Completely classless. In the time I spent there I watched 30 IT people walk out the door in a years’ time. Be aware that they lie to you about your performance because they think it’s motivational to say are doing a bad job after you were told you did a good job on something. I would avoid this company at all costs. If you have to work there because it is the last place on Earth that will hire you then maybe look to the IT Infrastructure org only.
