Pros

- Work From Home Policy - Casual Dress - You get issued nice laptops - Management is approachable

Cons

Note: I'm in IT Operations, and other areas of the business might not have these issues. WWT has several business practices that, while they may be acceptable or even liked by some, make working here extremely unpleasant for me. - The workspaces are 100% open. There is no privacy whatsoever. Everyone is situated at tables and anyone, at any time, can & probably will walk over and interrupt you. It's also noisy, and just, in general, makes concentration difficult. - Everything is "urgent". Nobody knows how to prioritize, and nobody knows how to schedule. - The culture there revolves around fingerpointing, constant meetings, and middle management breathing down your neck. - It's a bit of a boys club. There's very little in the way of diversity. - Agile methodology is being shoved down everyone's throats. If we were developers, I'm sure that'd be great. But we're ops, and it's not a good fit. - Frequent 50+ work weeks. - There's very little in the way of project management. Engineers are expected to do all this work themselves, in addition to actually doing the design & implementation + managing support responsibilities. - There is no cafeteria. One would think that a company of this size might offer a cafeteria on its campus, or at least schedule food trucks every day.

Thank you these details and for taking the time. Yes, the work space is open and this is to encourage collaboration. We definitely are a fast paced environment as well. All of this isn't for everyone and we're not perfect. Thanks for the advice and good luck.

Loss of a potential good employee

Pros

This review concerns the Netherlands offic. Almost all nice people.

Cons

Chaotic, inefficient way of working, manipulating systems with manual interference causing unnecessary work as well of enhancing the chance of multiple errors. Due to growth of company, no time can be given to train newly hired personnel. Expectation, is to just dive in to the deep so to speak and find the information necessary on your own. Leadership, at certain areas needs improvement.
