Pros

Executives that truly care Working for a company that literally impacts nations Rapidly growing with a clear vision Unbeatable benefits

Cons

It’s been hard to keep up with the growth since it’s at such a fast pace. Pay could be more competitive. The internal turnover rate is out of control. People leave departments to try a different department. Maybe it’s time we put some rules in place that consider time in role, performance, fully trained replacement already in place, etc.

Pros

Executive leadership cares, very passionate, decent pay, open door policy. Excellent benefits, schedule, work life balance.

Cons

Lack of training, shifts do not work together, abrasive immediate leadership, unfair treatment. I've missed more than 20days of work and I'm still getting hired into the company, yet I have relatives who work extremely hard and perfect attendance and have not gotten their reviews or an offer letter to join the company. Say what you want, but I'm white, my leadership is white, and my relatives are 2 black men whom prove themselves day in and day out, and even come in to learn more and help out. There is only 1 black supervisor. Not too sure about the diversity. The culture in this warehouse is terrible. Want to learn the tricks of the trade to be more efficient? Most leadership will not share so you don't grow. I'd suggest any future applicants get in the door but go out the back door to a different area once you get in; or avoid this department all together.

Pros

Local teams in the Denver area are fun to work on and the local co-workers make this job overall positive. You work under well supported delivery principles and they have roles in place to support a project from all aspects. Work life balance is well respected and there are many ways to strengthen relationships with co-workers including game nights, burrito club, etc. If you are a developer mid - junior you will benefit greatly from the overall practice of TDD and paired programming employed here.

Cons

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.

Thank you. Actually PTO and Sick Leave are completely separate. After one year, full-time employees are eligible for 6 weeks of Sick Leave. Embedded within our PTO (Paid Time Off) there are 6 sick days that can be used for when you're not feeling well or just for taking time off. We eliminated sick days as a result of what our employees wanted (flexibility). We feel our PTO is very generous but it's not the only reason to work for us. Overall our benefits (health insurance, 401K, etc.) are outstanding. Thanks again.
