Pros

I appreciate a lot of things about Williams. -The pace (at least on the transmission side) is slower than the upstream and therefore the work life balance is nice. -Really awesome teammates/great personalities - I haven't met someone here yet that I didn't like working with or working for. -I think the pay is very fair for that balance as well. -Williams tries very hard to hire diversely which is a plus. -If you just want to show up to work, do a good job, and leave work at home, this is the case here.

Cons

-The annual review process makes it difficult to stand out. If you are a 'super star' employee and want the recognition and accolades for that, its difficult to achieve that. But if you are just average, you don't have anything to fear here. Unfortunately poor performers can hide in the masses - which can be a problem for the hard working individuals having to pick up the slack. -No sick pay - vacation and sick are the same and therefore people show up to work sick because they don't want to use their vacation. Definitely negotiate for more vacation coming in if you can.

Pros

Decent Pay Range on scale with the industry. Fabulous benefits.

Cons

Work/Life balance is horrid. Burnout in 6months ~ 1 year max. Huge turnover. Unrealistic deadlines, too many projects at once. Upper Management has no idea they are running way to lean.

Pros

Competent Staff; Healthy business; Office environment

Cons

Middle management is fairly helpless to executive-level personnel policies (think: top-down). Compensation and work/life balance are not in sync, which stems from the executive level disconnect with roles and their operations. Attempts to develop a monoculture at the expense of staff have created toxic environment. Flex work not permitted but for Fridays. Frankly, a rigid manner with respect to personnel and their work/life balance despite expecting weekend work and long hours.
