Pros

Reputation, benefits are decent still but nowhere near as generous as before the merger. Benefits start on first day.

Cons

Company was great when it was Willis. Since the merge with Towers Watson, it has been years of chaos and constant change, lay offs, reduction in benefits, bonuses that are less each year despite continued good performance. More and more is getting offshored to cheaper countries and a lot are losing jobs. Those who are "lucky" enough to stay end up doing twice the work for the same salary and a smaller bonus each year. It has become painfully obvious that the new Willis Towers Watson only cares about how much money they can squeeze out of a dollar, and the attitude toward employees is becoming more and more callous and sterile. I do not recommend working here.

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.
