      Great Place to Work is fading

      Pros

      Great Health benefits. Cool GHQ

      Cons

      Been with WWT for over 10 years and while we may be listed as a GPTW, the feeling internally is fading. WWT has a major lack of leadership accountability and is becoming a penny-pinching company. Manager after manager, director after director, and even VP after VP, are failing their people and it's their people who are hurting. I've seen more layoffs in the last year than I have in the first 9 years with the company. I fear almost everyday now that I'm coming to work and I'll be getting the call from my manager that I'm no longer employed. Also penny-pinching is happening. I have to get expense approval on a $20 item to help me in my day to day? I have to be X percentage billable but my leadership does nothing to help me find customer work? Also, and I'll admit this isn't the most important thing, but where have all the employee appreciation things gone? Christmas parties, gone. GPTW parties, see you later. Random ice cream truck visit, not happening. Go to a Sales Kickoff convention and get an earful on we're only allowed so much ($50) for all food. I'm sorry, but this place has changed. And not for the better.The culture is dying

      "Great Place to Work". It used to be.

      Pros

      Cost of insurance, that's about it.

      Cons

      For a company that prides itself as a "Great Place to Work" and its strong culture of being "family oriented", it sure has taken a drastic turn for the worse - especially in Edwardsville. Directors pulling telecommuting benefits to "increase visibility in the business" - with no hard reason to justify it. Really? Seems like a childish and power struggle move to most of those impacted. And that's just one example. Leadership can't be trusted as far as they can be thrown. Say they "live and breath" the core values, but rarely show and express them. Sound two-faced. Indeed. Is that how we build trust these days?

      Not as it seems

      Pros

      The engineers are crazy smart, and the company has a great ability to help customers make technology decisions

      Cons

      Very old school, good old boys network. Many of the upper level people are from just a few families, and they have not worked anywhere else. If you are not one of those families, and especially if you are female, you may have a hard time succeeding. WWT wins award for best place to work, even for women, but I don't see that as being true if you want a top job.

      Thank you. We are making great progress in advancing women and people of color in leadership roles at WWT. We have developed at Women’s Leadership Forum to focus on women leaders and this spring we will launch our Diversity & Inclusion program company-wide. Thanks for the feedback and we will continue to make these areas a priority for WWT. Ann Marr, Vice President Global Human Resources
