Pros

WWT is looking out for their newest family member! Recently the maternity leave benefit has improved. Employees that have been full-time for one year or more are now eligible for up to 12 weeks of paid maternity leave . And if you a traveling mom, WWT has teamed up with Milk Expressed. #Greatpalcetowork

Great Company with Exceptions

Pros

Jim, Dave and Joe really do care about and take care of their employees. HR is fantastic and the perks are impressive. The benefits are second to none as are the great people that work there. The overall company is outstanding.

Cons

Professional services is not representative of the rest of the company. It is managed through fear and punishment by demoting employees when things go wrong. The company values are recited but not practiced. There is a reason that the turn over is so high in that part of the company. The overall pay is lower than average as well.

Lack of Core Values and Loyalty and Diversity

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Executive leadership at the CEO level. Strong willingness to invest in technical resources.

Cons

Core values are preached inside the walls on a daily basis, but as the years have passed and as the company has gotten larger, those values are ignored more and more. It seems more evident that the values are followed and mentioned when it is convenient, but not when it actually matters and a true business or personnel decision needs to be made. Company needs to pay more attention to the culture in the field offices and not just HQ. If you are not at HQ on a permanent basis, or a part of that "click" it is very difficult to advance as there is definitely favoritism and more loyalty paid to those from STL as opposed to those in the field. With respect to diversity, I personally do not see how we can claim being a diverse company, as from my point of view it is one of the least diverse companies I have seen or work with. There are a number of females in the company, but that is about it. Outside of that, it is shockingly bad. It was most evident to me at this past leadership meeting as well as the last operations meeting. Pictures that were posted from both those meetings should have been evidence that the company needs to diversify more. Especially in its leadership.

Thank you for your feedback. We are always trying to find better ways to spread the culture of WWT to our remote locations. While I think we have done a really good job in some locations, we always have room for improvement. We continue to invest in onsite Executive Roundtables, Town Hall meetings, employee surveys and other meetings to solicit feedback from our employees. I think frequent meetings by video are also helpful for employee cultural engagement. We are also focused on improving in areas of diversity and are currently developing company-wide initiatives which will continue to reinforce our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We were honored to receive recognition for being a great place to work for diversity and for women through the Great Place to Work Institute and will continue to focus our efforts in this area. I would be happy to discuss this with you or I can get you in touch with Vice President of Human Resources as well. Thanks again and best of luck.
