Pros

It’s a great working environment, lovely office and perks - great flexibility too, and no micro managing - we get to have our say and time with the ELT as well Great hustle culture, and very entrepreneurial

Cons

They keep salary bands on job ads hidden to hide the fact that they’ll end up paying more for new employees coming in - don’t like the lack of transparency - people talk and leave when they find out anyway

Hi, thank you for this honest review. You highlight some of the great things about working at GWI, from the culture and perks to the open communication with leadership. I'm very sorry to hear you don't feel the pay decisions are transparent enough. We use a market-leading benchmarking tool for salary discussions, but I do strongly suggest you reach out to your People Partners who can dive into this a bit deeper and provide further clarity. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts! All the best, Stevie Talent Attraction Manager

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.
