      Pros

      Great people, fun events, top-notch benefits. Culture is cool, but feels forced.

      Cons

      Lower pay. Average is tolerated way too often. Definitely more 'bosses' than leaders. A lot of leadership has been with the company from the beginning. Good for culture, but have no experience operating at scale and it shows. There was a fair amount of deception (starting in my interview), lack of transparency and lack of follow-through while I was at WWT. Very dated operations for a tech company.

      Good culture, no career advancement

      Pros

      Good culture: friendly people, good to work here

      Cons

      No career opportunities. Despite being told that I'd be "up for promotion" as soon as there is a business need, there never seems to be a business need after years. Basically I understand this to mean that they recognize good work and want good work but don't want to give titles or salaries that match. Or management doesn't want to tell you that you suck and that they have no intention of promoting you.

      Thank you. I agree it's weak if your management doesn't have the courage or rigor to tell you that you're not meeting expectations to be promoted. This is not fair to you and it doesn't align with our leadership principles.

      "A culture that doesn't live up to the hype"

      Pros

      Remote work is the only positive.

      Cons

      WWT fosters a false culture that begins with their incompetent management. They promote a supportive environment that supposedly helps others that are either challenged or struggling with workload. This is a farce and is evident in the constant turnover. The organization is PIP happy and does not tolerate innovation, growth or improvement. Your hired to perform a role and are expected to excel with no clear career path or development. If you like working in a very process oriented environment that handcuffs your creativity, this is the place for you.

      Thanks. We don't just terminate people without giving them a chance to improve first. That's ruthless and unfair to the individual. The purpose of a "PIP" (Performance Improvement Plan) is to give an employee specific and actionable feedback on what they need to improve upon to remain in their role. Thank you again and good luck.
