Their PTO and other benefits do not lead the industry. For a tech company, their benefits are below the industry standard. One example of this is that paternity leave is only two weeks long. Maternity is longer. They are not very concerned about equality in this regard.
Nepotism runs rampant at WWT. Leadership hires under-qualified friends and family into positions above you. You will notice very quickly if you work here - just looks at people's last names. You are then expected to aid in their training and development. Providing constructive feedback on this or anything else you disagree with leadership on will get you a write up for not embracing change / being positive (company core values) which is cooperate gaslighting. The company says they value feedback, but I found out quickly that this is not true.
Middle Management in my experience were high performing individual contributors that got promoted into management roles with little to no leadership experience. Working with them leaves one feeling belittled and exhausted instead of empowered to do your job well.
The culture is one of overworking with no boundaries. Employees are expected to work late and are then celebrated in “kudos” e-mails for their “team-work” the next day when they stayed until midnight to do work that should have been better prepped for by other teams we have to work with (this is a regular thing, not a one-off situation). This is embarrassing and toxic, not something that leaders should be celebrating.
