Pros

Until recently a purposeful, dynamic company executing some good strategies. Many areas are market leading and a lot of focus has been placed on making operations efficient.

Cons

There has been a lot of senior management churn and this has created a sense of confusion and panic. Many people are genuinely concerned about their jobs. Willis have some strange rules and regulations eg insuring your own blackberry and the use of tough retention clauses to what are typically mediocre bonuses

Onboarding is a little slow but once you get a flow, you’ll get up to speed quickly

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.
