The reviews about Hewitt are pretty accurate. They do not practice what they preach and they have THE WORST HR organization. Don't bother reporting unethical or inappropriate behavior as nothing will be done. Over 60% of our team left because the manager had inaappropriate nicknames for everyone, made suggestive comments, married team members were sleeping together and every company event was a drunkfest. Stay away if you have an ethical bone in your body.

This company is unbelievable and not in a good way! If you want to be abused to the point of wanting to end it all then apply here.

Hewiit is what it is, just a business. If you have a problem or a situation arises were you see managers having favoritism with other team members, you have to learn to not reported to any department. Code of Ethics is another joke, even by you reporting your managers favor those who they hang out with outside work, the Vice President, the Group Manager will take it as gossip. There is a situation going on in Hewitt were some managers have helped their friends instead of the group in general to succeed, and the customer service VP as well as the Group Manager (the manager's boss) cover each other and do not take any reports seriously. If there is a rumor, there has to be some truth to it. Managers will cover each other, and making you as an associate understand, "we are the bosses and you will do as I say". I am waiting for one of the VP's or the Group Manager to see them hanging out shopping or at the movies one day, and they will realize how truth the rumor was. Hewitt states they are one of the best place to work at, don't believe it, IS NOT.

I worked at Hewitt Consulting for over a year! AN immensely torturous experience. I was harassed for over three months and the HR never took any action! They claim to be the best employers whereas they are the worst!

I have worked for Hewitt for almost 5 years, if you are willing to work for a company where you always can do better, see only your faults, constantly is changing and willing to learn new lines of business without any raise. If you want to work in a very stressful, tense environment this the Best Company to work for. Hewitt is not what it used to be, everything is about money. Is a business and they will treat you like another number, and will count every minute of your schedule, is constant micro managing , is emotionally exhausting. If you can work in an environment like this, then Hewitt is your place to work.

I have an interview with Hewitt via Spherion in a couple weeks and after doing some research and reading all of these comments. I am cancelling it. I rather be on welfare or stand at a corner holding a sign up for food than work at Hewitt. Thank god for this website!

First of all would like to comment on hewitt. Hewitt is a good company but what makes it bad is the people over here. I was from gurgaon, I left the hewitt some months ago and i was in the one of worst teams possible, i was in west bu. same bu where most of the best names are there. our LSA's., hewitt only cares about them, they give a damn to others who are in the team. they treat others as shit total shit. and our lsa's ohhh mann.... they are big time ass kissers of the onsite people, they will do anything to make onsite happy, they go to the extent of public ally criticizing their own team mates who have been with them for many years. it is just the respect that keeps these guys away from anger of the other associates else it could have been a fight. hewitt has made a one smart decision which is not to give LSA's power to manage, ohh man it could have been a helll, they do so muchh favoritism over here, they can take a leave or work from home even if their smallest finger of foot is aching but CU even if there is death in their family they call them at that point and bring them to office. SO much pissed out attitude, just wanna tell one thing if you woudn't have been of pilot batch most of you do not deserve to be even Sr SCS leave apart LSA's. Only one request to not give mgt to these people as it will leave to attrition, which is already happening because of them

First of all I hate to say I worked with hewitt.Hmm Thats too harsh..IF you are in benifits domain...your technical knowledge wont get grow up..I/we came to know this only during interview.The process followed in this company is totally different and unique,event if a comapny exists in other galaxy wont follow this procedure...Next the job...if you are a sca and a newhire to a team,they will screw u up..try to divert all their wrk to u..doing testing in this company is commiting crime,this is the felling persists in the minds of the seniors associates.Senior associates wont have any logic in preparing testcases..they wont cocnetrate on important ones..they will calculate all the perutation/combination to dervie min 100 testcases for a simple prjct and screw the sca's in order to get good name frm NA associates.The hike is like givng biscuts to street dogs.Recognizing is done based only on hoow many hrs u spent on the comapny and late n8 staying.There is a seperate xl sheet to count the late n8 staying,If the count is high u r wrking hard..Even if u wrk smart and leave the office by 10.30 PMearly..ur mangr will call u and ask y r u leaving so early.Managers are dumps,they dont know the basic of techonolgy,but paid heavily.If u put paper,then ur notice period will be hell..They screw u up with min 12 hrs wrk everyday,

so plzz stay away frm this explosives... and unethical place....

Hewitt...Worst place to work
