Pros
Working at Wray Ward was a great opportunity for my career. I loved my coworkers and learned a lot from them.
Cons
Upper management was always preaching about company values and caring for Wray Ward employees, which looking back feels pretty untrue. They laid off nearly thirty employees in one day... completely out of nowhere. Many of those lay-offs occurred over Zoom while the employee was in the office and their boss was at home. The company leaders seemed to be devastated over the layoffs and the fact that the company couldn't afford to keep their employees, however, they continued to spend a great deal of money on company parties and cool gadgets for the office that served no purpose to the work environment.... like massage chairs and Metaverse VR goggles. They acted like they wanted to walk with these employees through the process of landing a new job, but provided little to no support in actuality. Upper management seems to care A LOT more about the image of the company than they do about actually cultivating a healthy culture that celebrates and values each employee. I hate to generalize all of the "higher-ups" because some of them were lovely, but most of them were pretty unauthentic.
