Pros

• Supportive colleagues that create a sense of camaraderie • Solid mentorship in early career (if you know where to look) • Generous PTO, bereavement leave, and actuarial exam support can make WTW feel like a good place to learn and grow for the long haul

Cons

• Incredibly slow start when onboarding that can potentially hinder meeting billable hour goal(s) • Lack of comprehensive training for analysts/new hires creates bottlenecks in projects and often leads to very serious issues with delivery or compliance down the road, risking long-term client relationships (putting a series of hour-long training calls on calendars during peak busy season is not an engaging or effective way to disseminate this information) • No comprehensive guidance for how AI can be integrated beyond "summarizing emails" or "document review" and leadership seems to be stumped about this as well; the basic enterprise Copilot subscription can only do so much in comparison to other tools (GPT, Claude) out there • Remote first culture (though it has its perks) creates issues in communication and coordination • Slow career growth and opaque promotion timelines that wildly differ between offices

Wonderful, intelligent colleagues, very collaborative, interesting work, lots of opportunity to move around the org

Cons

Risk averse so it’s slower to invest; penny wise but often pound foolish

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
