TW's maternity policy is horrendous. They are not at all supportive of team members having children and offer the least leave possible.
Employee - Manager
From what I can tell - there is no culture. People just attempt to get in and get out as quickly as possible.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director

What culture Being Billable matters most
Employee - Analyst
There exists a massive discrepancy between the lived & espoused cultures that only causes even more stress for employees.
Employee - Analyst
Leadership is secretive, self-serving, unaware.
Employee - Analyst
Interested parties should make sure they do their research on average salaries for their desired position.
Employee - Analyst
The best part of my job was being able to telecommute.
Employee - Analyst
Managers "warned" employees about the effects of long hours, yet rewarded employees for working 35 hours nonstop and chastised those unwilling to do so.
Employee - Analyst
The reputation of TW preceds them. They are well known for working employees inpossible hours and covering up the health issues their rmployees have suffered as a result. The "throw others under the bus to avoid responsibility" mentality among lower level supervisors is also well documented.
Employee - Analyst
Management is iffy. There is little to no specific training. Once you are on a client there is no support and if you do ask for help you are made to feel like you cannot do you job.
Employee - Analyst
They give free coffee and drinks which is a great perk. Most of the co-workers were great and easy to work with, but management is not consistent.
Employee - Analyst
They seem to have a good reputation as clients are happy with the service they receive.
Employee - Principal/VP/Director
Very smart people, always nice offices and great compensation.
Employee - Associate/Consultant
Market leading in several areas but overly conservative in others.
Employee - Manager
I was hired as a Manager and was supposed to have Associates available to support me and my client deliverables; be able to hire and train new Associates to build a leveraged model to allow more resources to generate more consulting revenue. Instead I was not supported with available staff; I had to meet sales goals by selling consulting services, meet all client expectations and deliverables, provide client relationship management, and demonstrate profitability. I met my goals however I had to consistently work 50 - 60+ hours per week without the support promised. Travel requirements were 50% - 70% as well.
Employee - Manager
Towers Watson's culture was one that praised rewarded its top 10% of senior partners and principals, however; if a Manager or Associate was struggling, they were typically allowed to "drown" rather than being provide the help needed. Leadership sent mixed messages and was very political.
Employee - Manager
Since Towers Perrin merged with Watson Wyatt; it has been difficult for years to create a cohesive environment and there still seems to be separate priorities that impact their culture.
