Pluspunten

Life-changing opportunity – WYWM helped me transition from public service into a completely new career in cybersecurity. • Supportive and encouraging team – Everyone genuinely wants you to succeed, no matter your background. • Free world-class training – High-quality courses in cyber, project management, data, and more, with no upfront cost. • Focus on potential, not experience – Their psychometric and aptitude testing showed me strengths I didn’t realise I had. • Values-driven mission – WYWM truly believes in creating career opportunities for veterans and people from underrepresented backgrounds. • Direct pathways to employment – The partnership with Leonardo gave me access to a real job opportunity that fit my skills. • Community and belonging – There’s a strong sense of camaraderie among fellow participants; it feels like being part of a tribe. • Career coaching and guidance – I felt supported at every stage of the journey, from training through to job application. • Encourages self-belief – WYWM gave me the confidence to change careers and thrive in a field I never thought possible. • Genuinely purpose-led – This isn’t just about tech; it’s about helping people find meaningful, sustainable careers.

Minpunten

Not a guaranteed job – While WYWM opens doors, you still need to put in the effort to stand out and secure a role. Self-driven learning – You need to be proactive and self-motivated to complete the training; it won’t suit those looking for hand-holding.

Pluspunten

The company's mission is incredible and so needed. It started dedicated to finding the right roles for veterans exiting service. eventually the demographics changed to include other groups like neurodiverse. They made mistakes but the new CEO is trying to right the ship. There are some really great people who work here but sadly few and far between.

Minpunten

The training provided was on a minimal amount and employees really couldn't perform their roles 100% without additional training. I found the culture very toxic and very military which doesn't work if you are NOT IN THE MILITARY. This was a corporate company not the military, but people refused to follow proper procedures and go around people if they didn't get the answer they wanted to hear. I personally experienced bullying from senior leaders and peers. I reported it to the appropriate authority only to be completely ignored. When it continued, I reported it again only to hear that was okay because "people were just upset at the situation". Granted people can be upset, It is allowed, but to be called names in a teams meeting, yelled at in other meetings, and to be disregarded when the concern is raised is not okay.
