Pros

Great place to gain valuable professional experience, work with well-known brands, and develop skills that are highly transferable to future roles.

Cons

The GWI I joined and the GWI I left felt like two very different companies. Over the years, the culture declined significantly, and many teams became increasingly disconnected. Collaboration was often difficult, and some colleagues displayed entitled and unprofessional behavior that made the work environment challenging. Career growth opportunities were limited, and compensation did not always reflect the responsibilities and expectations placed on employees. In recent years, leadership appeared heavily focused on AI initiatives and cost-cutting measures, which created uncertainty and negatively impacted morale. Frequent layoffs and restructures made many employees feel undervalued and replaceable. While I gained valuable experience and worked with some talented individuals, I would encourage leadership to invest more in employee development, culture, and transparency.

Pros

Flexible working set ups (wfh, flex hours), good PTO, summer Fridays

Cons

This used to be an amazing place to work, but the various layoffs and reorganizations in the past couple of years have been handled poorly and often dont make sense nor improve working conditions. Communication around changes is poor and it seems the company/senior leadership no longer values its employees. The company doesn’t live up to its core value of show respect. Motivation is low because there’s no sense of job security even for long-tenured and high performing employees. It used to feel like senior leaders genuinely cared about employees and appreciated us but lately it feels like we’re just viewed as cogs in a machine.
