I approached Hewitt's booth recently at a Rutgers career fair. The person I talked to seemed very interested in me. I also liked what the recruiter was telling about the company. Everything I read about this company on this website is scary which scares me about potentially joining Hewitt. As a new graduate I want to make sure I set myself out on the right foot when I begin my career. I am very concerned about my potential career growth based on the things that existing or ex-employees are posting on this site.
If I pursue this oppurtunity I will be working out of the NJ office. Can anybody out there tell me about things in the Hewitt's NJ office? Are the things posted on this board common across all Hewitt locations?
I would appreciate any honest advice that you any current employees may have.
Thanks |

I have worked in two Hewitt locations in the US. I am sorry to say that both are equally horrible. While I get paid to be at work ($36k for a BA) I am grossly under paid and under utilized to be quite frank. Both offices have been a nightmare in changes, management, ethics, general reliability etc. Its just an all-around bad place to be right now. Ever since that damn going public thing! I thought the atmosphere would/could change from one office to another - - it does not. Hewitt is Hewitt. I am currently submitting at least one resume per day at a minimum so that I can hopefully stop this pain by June.
Here's food for thought. I moved to my new office/location a month ago. My new mgr had the "balls" to tell me that the company policy is that we are all at work from 830 to 5. I called her out on it since I know that is not a company policy. She then says it is a company policy for new MPHRO clients. Once again, I have to call her out, since in the last year I have been on TWO MPHRO clients and this has NEVER been a policy of any kind! She tells me I am wrong. Once we are done hashing this, she tells the group that maybe in April we can re-visit this and get more flexible hours. Here's my question. If this is a company policy, how can we re-visit this and make changes for our team??? I hate this place!
