Vantaggi
WWT is a very successful company and has many good employees. I believe that the two founders, the Chairman and the CEO, are both good guys. They have instilled a set of corporate values that are great. Adherence to these core values, however, varies by location and by department. Health Insurance is very competitively priced.
Svantaggi
CULTURE Unfortunately, there are many VPs at the company that give only lip service to these corporate values. What is said at "trust exercises" is often used against employees by insecure leaders. Almost all of their executives have been with the company for 20 years. Many of them have no significant experience outside of WWT and some are in over their heads as the company experiences rapid growth and the industry experiences transformational change. COMPETITION WWT has not responded decisively to industry transformation that threatens the primary business of selling and installing IT equipment on customer premises such as customers moving more of their IT workload to the cloud. COMPENSATION WWT also has serious compensation equity issues. My peers and I were unable to get adequate increases approved for our top performers, and could not get increases for employees that were promoted until the year-end review cycle. Employees that come in from the outside regularly negotiate compensation packages that are better than existing employees. Leadership is aware but does not address this inequity, and it is obvious to the employees. SUMMARY There are a lot of good people at WWT, and a good culture in pockets of the organization, but there are serious growing pains ahead.
