Pros

Great office in London Pockets of excellence in terms of people Some very good initiatives being developed and launched Good work-life balance

Cons

Ridiculous 'retention' scheme means that if you leave within 3 years of getting a bonus you have to pay a pro-rated amount back (i.e. leave after 18 months and pay back half). This is ridiculous when you consider that they typically pay well below average. If you have a blackberry, you have to take out your own insurance or replace the phone out of your own pocket. They actually hold people to this. Seriously. I wouldn't mind this so much if the blackberry were a perk, but it's not.

Pros

Well run as a business with a proven track record of success. The size of Willis allows movement amongst teams and roles with quick progression in terms of learning the business. Great people to work with who are extremely knowledgeable.

Cons

Compensation, in particular, for young people is uncompetitive compared to the competition.

Pros

Great name recognition in the professional services consulting industry Competitive pay Potential to learn from many varied projects

Cons

Senior level employees have the attitute that mid-lower level employees are not entitiled to a work-life balance Personal friendship not experience or competency determines workload and growth in this business environment People manager system needs to be revamped to ensure that the manager understands all of the roles and responsibilities of those they manage since in many cases, people managers and those they manage are not in the same field HR is not very helpful when issues arise
