Pros

Fantastic pay. Great home-grown systems and ever-changing work place. Extremely competent, high-performing teams and colleagues.

Cons

Hugely demanding workplace where they continue to add clients and pile on work with little ability to have a positive work-life balance. Expectation is that you surrender your outside life, travel whenever necessary (sometimes with little notice) and work well beyond normal work hours to accommodate client needs. I missed family birthdays, had a colleague that made himself available to clients while on vacation with this children at Disney World, etc. It's a cold call center environment very much geared toward outward appearance to clients. After 1 1/2 years only two people in the center knew my kids' names. There is little connection to individuals at WTW.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
