Pros

I have been with the company 8 Years and lived through the explosion of growth. 1 Billion to 10 billion is pretty amazing for a VAR. Credit the executive team and some visionary leadership from key personnel to diversify the business and create a unique end to end service offering for Systems Integration. No one can even come close to what WWT has. Culture is the real deal for the most part. Of course when you get to 5K employees you cant have perfection but it is way above par. The executive team emphasizes culture daily and i feel does all it can to preserve and foster good people and a great work environment.

Cons

1. Pay is low to average. 2. No real opportunities for advancement or at least merit based advancement. You still have to know someone. 3. HQ centric. You have to work in St. Louis to really enjoy the great place to work benefits. No special consideration for remote employees. 4. Some divisions are run by long time employees and it is obvious the company has outgrown their management ability. Lots of nepitism. Lack of trust. This makes promotion difficult or downright impossible. 5. Internal communication and processes are downright immature and frankly terrible. So many tools and no one uses them or don't know how. This is probably my only real complaint. A file management plan consistently enforced down to each employee with a quality search engine that actaully can find things would be just termendous to making life easier for existing and new personnel. 6. Training programs are poor. Well it actually doesnt exist for almost any position in the company. It is person to person transfer and new people just have to stumble along for months until they just figure things out.

Pros

Remote work was nice. Pay and benefits were decent.

Cons

- Toxic, toxic, toxic - Zero work life balance - Lots of back stabbing going on. Too many management changes. Everyone has to claw for things in a negative way to get anywhere. - Bro culture and a company founder who prays and preaches at company meetings? That should NEVER happen. - No inclusivity. They say DEI is important but when the leaders are praying and seemingly right wing that doesn't reflect. - "Great Place to Work" is a total scam. They basically make you do it, talk about it constantly, remind you to take the surveys, even say how to rate. It's disingenuous. - Over-worked and ran PM's too thin, then when you get too burned out to do your job effectively you're not supported. I was running multiple projects during the day and had another project that required 12 am, 2am meetings as it was an Asian customer. I had no balance, no sleep, zero support. Instead of mitigating it, they wrote me up because I forgot something trivial (so trivial I don't even remember what it was). I was so stressed my hair literally fell out! I was so grateful to have another company headhunt me so that I could quit. TOXIC!
