Watson Wyatt – “WW is fine up to a point”

Pros

WW is full of pretty smart, easy going, respectful people. The culture is good, the people are great, work is good. The only problem is hitting a ceiling in salary band.

Cons

The salary band promotion process is okay from bands 1 to 3, a little iffy at band 4, and downright odd at band 5. At the higher levels, its not a meritocricy but a political scheme.

Advice to Senior Management

Change the promotion process. Train managers to give career path options to associates. Offer mid year propotions.
