A Great Place to Work - Depending on who you know - LKV Supervisor World Wide Technology Employee Review

Pros

Excellent salaried position compensation, industry average for hourly associates. Best health coverage in the industry. Excellent profit sharing and 401K match. Great "Core Values" system that is leaning toward being nothing more than a slogan. Very good work/life balance, but sadly, this is also slipping away with 12 hours days becoming the norm and weekends becoming common place.

Cons

There is a considerable amount of favourtism and nepotism within WWT at the Edwardsville sites. It seriously is all about who you know. I was asked by the site to edit my previous review after having been responded to by the WWT HR staff, only to find it was no longer posted, nor were the reviews I noted to support my statements available. Which is fine and just proves my point. You can look through the interview reviews and see similar examples. There is limited opportunity for advancement as well due to the ongoing philosophy of outsourcing leadership rather than grooming from within. Many outstanding associates have left as they watched leadership get hired externally while they were passed over. Sad, for WWT is slowly moving into a production styled business and moving away from quality to bolster their already enormous bottom line.

Thanks. We did ask glassdoor to remove an employee's name which was mentioned in a previous posting. This was out of respect to our employee which I hope you can understand. WWT is unable to remove any reviews and has no control over doing this. If you would like to discuss this further, please let me know and I would be happy to meet with you. Thanks again.

Pros

Remote work was nice. Pay and benefits were decent.

Cons

- Toxic, toxic, toxic - Zero work life balance - Lots of back stabbing going on. Too many management changes. Everyone has to claw for things in a negative way to get anywhere. - Bro culture and a company founder who prays and preaches at company meetings? That should NEVER happen. - No inclusivity. They say DEI is important but when the leaders are praying and seemingly right wing that doesn't reflect. - "Great Place to Work" is a total scam. They basically make you do it, talk about it constantly, remind you to take the surveys, even say how to rate. It's disingenuous. - Over-worked and ran PM's too thin, then when you get too burned out to do your job effectively you're not supported. I was running multiple projects during the day and had another project that required 12 am, 2am meetings as it was an Asian customer. I had no balance, no sleep, zero support. Instead of mitigating it, they wrote me up because I forgot something trivial (so trivial I don't even remember what it was). I was so stressed my hair literally fell out! I was so grateful to have another company headhunt me so that I could quit. TOXIC!
