Pros

Good benefits package Flexibility, able to work from home

Cons

This company is not what I thought it would be. The longer you work here, the more you see the flaws. 1) Nepotism 2) Pay is low 3) Frivolous spending Nepotism needs to be addressed - in no way should a sister report to her brother, or a sister report to her sister, etc. An org. shake up needs to be done. Also, too many new hires have executive connections. Pay is low, and there is no good way to get a bump in your salary. If you think you'll increase your pay by moving to a different position, think again. You will continuously move laterally. So, you will end up doing more work with the same amount of pay. Company really should scale back on frivolous spending. There are departments that really could use additional head count and can't get the people they need. As the company tightens up on hiring, it doesn't appear to tighten up on unnecessary spending.

Thank you. Much of our growth (especially in our smaller and more remote locations) has been with the help of employee referrals. I agree that some of the reporting relationships are not ideal and we are working on the best and most appropriate ways to address them. If you are able to share more specifics on the frivolous spending feedback, please contact a member of the HR team. Thanks again.

Pros

World Wide feels like a startup, operates at enterprise scale, takes care of its employees in a way that's far off the right end of the bell curve, and boasts a fun, inclusive, and caring company culture that catapults it to the top of the heap. WWT will ask a lot of you and give a lot in return. Constant change is a given, and perpetual learning is an extension of the former. Come here to challenge yourself and have strong support and leadership at your back to accomplish what you set out to do.

Cons

As it stands: none. All I can think of is WWT runs the risk of losing the recipe for its cultural "secret sauce" as it grows. Working to hire in terms of both competency and "fit" is paramount to WWT's retention of core values, culture, and top talent as it scales.
