I would highly recommend that anyone considering joining the application services segment of WWT that is mid or above consider the following.
- The PTO policy is in a single bucket with sick leave.
- The PTO policy is accrual based with no increase for 5 years.
- Application Services leans on the self starter mentality to a fault at times. You will need to be willing to find your own way through process.
- Pairing is often considered a replacement for well thought out code reviews. Code reviews often allow for an individual to look at the code from an academic standpoint. They provide different functions.
- Developer teammates often will want work straight on master and use the CI/CD pipeline as a crutch.
- You may be hired as a developer of a particular language or stack, but you will be staffed based on need.
- The St Louis office feels like the number 1 office.
- Application Services (formally Asynchrony Labs) is slowly becoming overtaken by the overall WWT merger in terms of corporate culture and identity.
