World Wide Technology grossly underpays their employees. They float their "excellent" health benefits in lieu of sweatshop wages; however, it does not negate the fact they pay their employees 15-20% less than median market value. You know it's bad when their own internal recruiter agrees their pay band is "sub par." As a corporate culture, they heavily rely on their core values "The Path" but it only serves to benefit those in leadership. Management uses these ideals (cough, cult diatribe) to disperse any type of ill employee ease when it comes to questioning process and procedure. Trust is a two-way street and leadership doesn't like it when employees hold up a mirror and show them their own corporate reflection. There's no training offered outside their five-and-dime crash course with training specialists who regurgitate the corporate drivel and expect you to sip the Kool-Aid at the end of the week's long training course. At the end of training, employees are expected to have a solid foundational knowledge of a broken and flawed propriety system known as MES. Need help? Docman 2.0 is there to confuse you further. The employees I worked with were suffering severe burnout due to mandatory OT, ineffective leadership, and varying degrees of work load expectations per individual's skillset. Leadership will not hire new employees so instead they over abuse the people (resources) they have on hand forcing them into a rinse and repeat cycle. The individuals I worked with were stuck in the same dead-end job for years on end. They were unable to level up because management imposes blockades to retain their SMEs and hires their best friend rather than the most qualified candidate. The HR department is ripe with bargain bin psych majors who think they have a grasp on interpersonal relationship building. Nope, at best they try to mitigate the fall out when employees have behavioral problems and create conflict within departments. Rather than eradicate the problem, HR coddles and caters to it, thus allowing it to bleed all over the rest of the staff. WWT's open door policy leads only to a surface level conversation and then a prompt closing of said door. Investigations lead nowhere and if you speak up then you become a target -- better to stay quiet and complicit. If you rock the boat, they will make sure you sink with it.
