Pros
Westwood has some great people. The culture in the office is generally quite friendly and I love my team.
Cons
Benefits have been getting worse and they are implementing a lot of cost-cutting measures that only end up hurting the low-level staff without saving much. Decreasing PTO accrual rates, removing overtime for salary staff, and forcing WFH employees back to the office with short notice have all been recent developments, and I believe they will loose a lot of good people. I know a good chunk of my team is leaving or looking elsewhere because we are being asked to increase workload and scope for the same/less compensation. Management team is very young, and in my experience rather gossipy. I heard quite a few things about other employees I should not have, and certainly would not appreciate being shared about me. Myself and others noticed obvious favoritism among management when it comes to promotions, which could typically be predicted by who they go golfing/drinking with. Concerns over management conduct is quite swiftly brushed under the rug, and I have seen it ultimately damage someone who was rightly bringing up some very egregious behaviors.
