Pros
My time at WTW NZ was extremely valuable, insightful and set an excellent foundation for future job expectations. My manager was and still is regarded as one of the best in the field and was an amazing mentor/leader. The team was wholesome and you truly felt like you were in a work 'family'. Everyone was always open to assist and converse. I learnt a great deal in this role from the ability to negotiate, build rapport with clients, ask for help while also being 'independent'. I made many mistakes, but learnt quickly from the experiences and came out better at the end. An overall wholesome experience.
Cons
I was working in a small team and thus, busy periods were extremely stressful. There were tight deadlines and many moving pieces so constantly improving your organisational skills are essential. The pay did not reflect what was required from the work. However, I did not try to negotiate for a higher pay due to the emergence of Covid - a mistake in hindsight.
