Pros
World Wide is a very open and friendly business to be a part of. They have a culture of open and clear communication from upper management to all layers of the company, and in most cases stick to their promise of there being "no surprises." The people that I have a chance to work with are all friendly, positive, team players, and this is indicative of the company as a whole. World Wide goes out of their way to hire people that will make the work environment as nice as possible. They also provide a great benefits package, including the most affordable health insurance you are likely to see from any company you may find yourself at. In addition to the standard benefits, they are open to telecommuting when your role allows it, which really shows their dedication to a positive work-life balance. Company funded events are relatively common, and range from outings to boost team trust and camaraderie, to project/program happy hours, to corporate parties for holidays. Perhaps the best part of working here has been the lack of stress about job security. From what I have seen, this is a very stable environment, and downsizing of any departments in the office side of the operation seems to be rare or non-existent. Oh, and the dress code is great. It basically boils down to "Don't wear shorts. Flip Flops are OK."
Cons
They preach "no-surprises" and stick to it for the most part, but that makes it incredibly jarring and alarming when there IS a surprise in decision making from upper management. The culture has been shifting to something slightly more corporate recently, with a bit less leniency in certain areas, and a reduction in the frequency and scale of company funded events mentioned above. You can't wear shorts.
