Pros

My time at WTW NZ was extremely valuable, insightful and set an excellent foundation for future job expectations. My manager was and still is regarded as one of the best in the field and was an amazing mentor/leader. The team was wholesome and you truly felt like you were in a work 'family'. Everyone was always open to assist and converse. I learnt a great deal in this role from the ability to negotiate, build rapport with clients, ask for help while also being 'independent'. I made many mistakes, but learnt quickly from the experiences and came out better at the end. An overall wholesome experience.

Cons

I was working in a small team and thus, busy periods were extremely stressful. There were tight deadlines and many moving pieces so constantly improving your organisational skills are essential. The pay did not reflect what was required from the work. However, I did not try to negotiate for a higher pay due to the emergence of Covid - a mistake in hindsight.

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.
