Pros

Started as a contractor, worked many years and received great reviews within original department. Great people to work with during acquisition and merger. Review process was fair during my tenure in my original department where I met or exceeded goals yearly with up to 8% increases. Excellent severance package and benefits.

Cons

Prior to transfer I was in a state of grey area which were words from my manager between admin and analyst and continued to be shut down when asked for training to move into a project manager role. Transferred to new department to expand and grow my career but quickly learned the line of business was in trouble and loosing clients. Poor management lead to a layoff after corporate sent in a team to restructure the business. No offer to move back to previous department however I learned that another employee was offered to return to her previous LOB that we both came from. Everyone in the group had an inflated job title and sense of worth yet they did not want to train just preach from their loud third-world office overseas. Their integration was sloppy and they had trouble working with people from 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.
