They don't know who they are

Pros

Decent HR package, average pay. Some people are genuinely nice and pleasant to work with. Their supply chain services are decent.

Cons

There is a culture of intimidation, people will tell you off just to let you know who is in charge. There are several unchecked egos in senior management, and they get away with breaking a lot of rules. No one holds them accountable for their performance. If you are not within this close knit group you will not get very far. For touting themselves as an MBE, they have little to no diversity, and in reality there are some people very high up that say things in public that are highly unusual. Some managers clearly hire employees based on their looks (if you work in the corporate office you will know what I mean). Also, they sell themselves as a high end professional services organization but their technical skills are very lacking. Many customers feel that they were tricked with a "bait and switch", where the company brings in their best people to sell a deal and then the actual delivery is handled by junior engineers. Not a good way to start a relationship with a new partner.

Pros

Since the start of my position earlier this year, I have found a supportive environment that I have not known in other companies. This company is already helping me to further my career by allowing me to get additional certifications and possibly go back for my masters. This company builds everything they stand for one their Core Values. We have training on the Core Values. Reminders of the Core Values are everywhere in our organization. My two favorites are Honesty and Integrity and Passion. The upper management lives and breathes these values. It is not just a slogan, like at some companies, it is a way of working life. We have fun too. Things like Wii Dance Contest, friendly banter at board meetings, and group outings. WWT gives back to the community. All of our senior members are involved in charity work. The best thing is probably the open communication. Everyone here is so willing to help one another for the betterment of our company and our customers. It is a great feeling of being part of a family, not a team.

Cons

We are growing so fast it is hard to keep up with policies and procedures already in place.
