Pros

Minimal - some great people, but they've all left or are leaving in the next 6-12 months!

Cons

I am SO glad to see two other recent HONEST reviews on here speaking about the problems at TfW. It is a shocking place to work. The way myself and others were treated is unbelievable, I was lost for words at times. For a long time, I thought it was just me being made to feel how I did and that I was overacting. I felt alone, unsupported and was left with no choice but to leave or put myself through more torture. My mental health was in a dire situation and there was no genuine support from TfW, only meetings to tick a box to say they've spoken with me. There was no follow through on what they said they were going to do to support me. Empty promises constantly. I was essentially left to struggle, and struggle I did. I thought they were pushing me out purposefully and started questioning my ability, which only added to my stress and mental health issues. It's only since leaving and speaking to others that have left or been off long term, I've realised I was not the only one. I mirror the review below that talks about how speaking up at TfW will only get shut down and you'll be the "bad guy". It is very much a "put up or shut up" culture. If you raise concerns or problems, be prepared to be gas-lit and shut down, you'll probably eventually be pushed out. When I left, I spoke of my treatment and how it made me feel, surprise surprise, there was no apology or even acknowledgement of how they'd treated me. Don't bother going to HR, that department is a shambles too! It's taken a very long time, but I am now in a new job, supported, happy and I can voice ideas or concerns without being terrified of the repercussions. I have my confidence back and realise it was never down to my ability or even my problem, it was theirs.
