Business Outlook

Pros

At the Manager level and below there are some great people; hard working, dedicated and committed to growing others and the firm. Overall base comp and medical/dental/vision benefits are fair.

Cons

At the Senior Leadership level there is a small inner circle that decides who is in and who is out. If you are out it doesn't matter the quality of work you provide you will never advance or receive any level of respect. It doesn't take long for the ambitious new comers to realize this and to get the message that the quickest way to the top is to become best friends with the "founding fathers" and ostracize any one who is there to do a good job while trying to stay out of the fray.

It was really sad...

Sr. architect

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Originally started out as a great role, mentoring others, helping customers achieve their goals, fair comp, etc...but that was when the company had 3 month pipeline, full schedules, and a sales team, with expertise in house working side by side with the up and coming folks. Unfortunately, required RIF's, have bled this place dry. some of the originals still hang on for hope as they know no other job environment, and believe business will return.

Cons

Serious lack of realistic long-term strategy. Failed to take advantage of the niche market that they had cornered. WFH is barely alive at this point. Unintentionally screwed their Directors when they changed the comp packages. Got caught with their "ESOP Conversion" pricing in court, still ongoing. Lack of pipeline is driving sales goals, instead of the other way around. RIF's are not announced, so they "pay in lieu" of 60 days notice, which they format as "severance" when in fact they are required to pay at least 60 days to laid REF'd employees because they failed to provide ample notice of the RIF for the size organization they are.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexibility, good balance, paths to promotion if you maintain high visibility.

Cons

It's a sinking ship. Everyone is on edge waiting for the next rounds of layoffs. People are nice, but think inside the box. Since WM promotes internally from internship to Senior Manager and beyond, most of the consultants only know the WM way of doing things and aren't even trained in selling. No new work means poor financials.
