Pros

Good benefits Good pay Interesting projects

Cons

Politics have gotten measurably worse over the years. You need to remember sugar and salt look the same. The words used around corporate culture are just that. Some teams may live by them but many others do not. Watch out for the salt.

Pros

Insurance. 5 word minimum is too much to list the pros for this company.

Cons

I don't even know where to begin. This company has forced my team into zero work/life balance. We have been lied to, all year, about when mandatory overtime would stop. We are even forced to come in 4 hours early, for our overtime day, basically for a year straight, while they've promised every two weeks that it would be over. For a "progressive" workplace in technology field, they seem to have no grasp of the obvious and founded science which proves the concept of an over worked work force. Instead, they gaslight you, give you more restrictions, and double down on over micromanaging you. The supervisors are a bunch of out of touch, run of the mill-people that gang up on you for your production slightly falling after a year straight of overtime and giving you a sleep disorder with their insane schedule. They cant even remember or care how long it goes on or can remember, because they don't have to be there. Anybody with any sort of leadership around here must be taken to a camp where they are brainwashed and de-educated in humanities. Too many people around here absorb and perpetuate the toxic culture, because they are afraid of change and oppertunity and don't want to disrupt their illusion of their career path they mistakenly chose. When i say that leadership starts faulting you for your production falling slightly in the face of excessive overtime, that's not even what it is. They're frankly too out of touch to even accurately assess if that's happening. They solely function on over generalizations, cop-outs, and anecdotes. We get 3 times the volume that is considered proportionate to our workforce and therefor expect 300 percent production and "all hands on deck" for unfair and indefinite time frames, and blame employees, while acting like they understand all that. Sound like they understand until their leaders, which are even more out of touch, start breathing down their necks, so their perceptions shift wildly. This is frankly a mere fraction of negative things I could say about this company. It's sad that many of the people that work here have families and are consequentially insurance hostages. Also, advancement is a joke. I've seen people with years of experience, that are overqualified for a position they apply for, and are displaced for an outside "diversity hire" with no experience

We recognize work-life balance is important, and we continue to take steps to ensure we are setting expectations and policies which support our employee’s well-being. WWT is very conscious of calling overtime and when possible, we seek to get voluntary shift coverage. However, mandatory overtime becomes essential when increased business activity is needed to support customers.

Pros

Remote work. Decent benefits package.

Cons

#1, management messages do not align with actual expectation. Work/life balance: Regular 10+ hour days, after hours work with little or no notice, work your lunch, back to back meetings for hours. It can be hard to get a restroom break. Systems: Order management is run by overworked people working in error prone manual environments. The systems/apps they do have error almost daily. Misaligned leadership: We(the workers) are not sure leadership talks to other departments. We are constantly pushing against teams to hold process. When things are backlogged or there is low support people from other departments are surprised. Constant grind: Between outdated systems, misalignment and OT the workers are badly stressed. Compensation: This company pays industry standard wages with a higher than typical workload.
