Pros

WWT is the most innovative and progressive company that I have worked for in my 48 year career. The WWT company culture is one of kind. WWT knows that the success of the company depends on its employees and it treats them as such. WWT invests continually and deeply in its employees. WWT also is a state of the art technology company both for its internal use and in the solutions that it offers its customers. There seems to be no end to the continual evolution of business solutions that WWT offers its customers. You will find no better leadership, from the Chairman down, in a another company. Every employee has an opportunity to make a difference within the company and the leadership team's accessibility ensures that to be the case. WWT has a very rigorous and participative interview process which all but ensures that new employees will fit within the WWT culture.

Cons

I have no Cons to share. WWT's culture is one where every employee has a path and opportunity to bring issues forward and have them addressed.

Pros

WWT is a "flat organization" that empowers you and lives up to their culture. Many organizations have posters and meaningful sayings or cultural statements but WWT truly cares about their employees and the culture they have. The saying "work hard and play hard" and "...in the spirit of no surprises" are just a few pieces of the WWT DNA. The benefits are outstanding, executives and employees are genuine and easy to approach (flat org), intelligent and exude a "family feeling" in the work place/offices. If you are looking for a long term career this is a company that you can grow with in different positions and locations.

Cons

The only "con" (and I don't think it is a con) is some new employees may feel a bit overwhelmed at first. The first year is challenging but you are in a position to learn the culture and intricacies of the company. If you don't work in St. Louis that may be a challenge for some. It's just learning how to navigate the company and the new work environment.

Thanks. This is a very accurate description. Flat organization and ease of access to all leaders in the company. I agree onboarding can be overwhelming. Some describe it as trying to drink from a fire hose. That being said, I think we're making significant progress in improving this area with more investment in onboarding time and standardizing some processes (without being rigid).
