Pros

Pizza parties instead of pay raises...

Cons

Underpaid, undervalued, talk about diversity but it is just to keep with the Jones versus actually doing it. Big company and easy to get lost in the mix. Never work in a service center, they will always strive to pay you as little as possible, no upward mobility, and get ready for 1-2% raises and laughable bonuses. Rotating door of colleagues because people see through the BS rather quickly. As a result, get ready for the frustrations of new colleagues that need to learn SOPs from scratch. Only got offered the opportunity of a promotion after resigning. Retail offices have more opportunity, but it all depends on who you report to. AON merger was a disaster—massive brain drain, battlefield promotions for the people who got left behind when others jumped ship and didn’t invite them. (They weren’t invited for good reason and now they are running the show) Upper management explained that the merger would be great for the world, innovation, BS BS BS—the DOJ said the exact opposite. The ivory tower management were just in it to line their own pockets and get golden parachutes. AON was happy to pay $1B termination fee after putting WTW through the ringer.

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.
