Well, what are you interested to know about? What team would you be looking to join/what’s your background? What location are you in?

My two cents...I came to WMP from a bigger name firm and don’t regret it one bit. It’s not a perfect place, don’t get me wrong. Expect perhaps a decrease in comp depending where you’re at right now (though, WMP’s ESOP is killing it and can be extremely lucrative).

Even with the comp, it’s been a great place to work. Office culture actually means something here. I’ve built awesome relationships with my team and others. Good people, good work ethic, but a focus on work life balance and flexibility that is legit in my opinion.

If you have any specific questions, feel free to DM.

From what I remember, when you leave the company has 5 years to cash out your shares. During that time you won't get any more but I believe it still gains value. While not guaranteed, lately it's been between 25 and 50% per year.

Meh. I left a big 4 firm to come here and am looking to leave after 2 years. The firm is smaller and has less brand awareness so some of the work I’ve come across seems like staff augmentation/ endless PMO. Also have run into very questionable engagement practices. Long term, don’t see myself growing here like I did at big 4.

However I won’t deny it - people here are pretty nice and it’s a decent environment. However the culture can be very clique-y and insular at times as well.

Just my 2c. YMMV

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
