Pros – Great environment. It's a bit stuffy but I guess, what do you expect? Management was good to me. Would loved to have worked there after school.

Current Employee – been working at Wellington Management full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – - Exposure to cutting edge technology
- Gain experience in rapid development and deployment
- Gain Agility in changing scope and priorities
- Hands On work culture at every level of management
- Flat organization, very few levels from top to bottom

- No culture of career-progress, you can go from team-lead to developer overnight (and vice-versa), unless some up the chain really likes you.

Advice to Senior Management – Wellington needs a common culture, it really lacks one. The business believes in client,firm,self but IT is very agressive, person-centric and team-centric.

Former Employee – worked at Wellington Management full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Learn a lot. Never boring. In my experience you can get involved with much more than is just in the job description.

Cons – Very long hours and very little work life balance. The interview process was so long- interviews in total lasted over 40 hours. I have heard that lately they have shortened the process but it is still quite long.

Advice to Senior Management – Having everyone wear suits does not mean they will do better work. Relax the dress code.

Current Employee – been working at Wellington Management full-time for less than a year

Pros – The people are incredibly brilliant and you are always learning. It's very collaborative without being negative. Everyone helps everyone else, and they're always trying to teach. They have great benefits and it's overall a wonderful company.

Cons – They will work you very hard. If you like that kind of atmosphere, which I do, then it's fine. But don't think you're going to come in and work a normal 8 hour day. Most days for my team are 10-12 hours, but you're always doing something different so it's okay.
