World Wide Technology reviews

-The company is not really 'world-wide' despite their name. Having a few employees in the UK doesn't constitute a truly global footprint. -Capabilities are not the same outside the US as they are in the US. -The company is very centered around St. Louis. Further, most of management stems from 1 of out about 5-6 'families' or part of a good old boy network. If you aren't an executive, or haven't been around for 15 years, you are treated like a second rate citizen. - If you aren't based in St. Louis where you can be seen and be a part of the 'corporate culture', you are treated like an inferior. - Company preaches that they are all about their 'culture'; that their 'culture' defines them. However, the culture that I experienced is one of brown nosing and back stabbing. Management has a CYA 'protect themselves and their own first' mentality. Bottom line is don't believe the hype. Just because I call myself something doesn't necessarily make it true. - When I joined WWT, I was told in new hire that 'talent retention' was top of mind to the executive team and that every resignation or termination was personally reviewed by the CEO. I left without a single exit interview (other than my direct manager). Nothing from HR. Definitely nothing from executive management. - "No surprises" - don't believe the hype. WWT preaches that there are 'no surprises' to employees. I wish I could say that was true. However, EVERYTHING during my time at WWT was a surprise to me, including the back stabbing leading up to my eventual departure. - Company refuses to address, much less pay, for compensation that I earned but was paid incorrectly during my time there. When you leave, you get what you get. Don't expect a 'no surprise' company with such a stellar 'culture' to actually pay you what you should have rightfully earned but didn't because of mistakes on their end.

All Cons probably due to a small company growing so fast it needs more seasoned leadership CORE Values not seen in practice in the IT department, rife with gossip and back biting from leadership down to lower levels. A single water cooler conversation could be overheard and repeated multiple times till no longer recognized Very Cliquey environment, difficult for new management to join the frat group of long termers A lot of management grew up in company and have very little variety of experience Difficult for long time employess to adapt to and accept change, and leadership had no idea how to promote change Seems like the organization was in a perpetual state of reorganization.. People get promoted and demoted. Had never experienced an organization where people get demoted instead of fired The politics is deadly.
