Senior Manager (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – August 24, 2018
No work/life balance - very hectic and chaotic between the extremely high employee turnover, the system software conversion, and management turnover up to the executive level this was a very difficult time. This was many years ago and is not longer relevant.
To be fair in this review, it is my understanding that Westfield and specifically the finance/accounting departments are no longer this way and generally there is a work/life balance.
I thought Westfield was a great company and I enjoyed the majority of my time there.
Pros
the people/co workers; great company and good benefits
Cons
work/life and unrealistic expectations (years ago at least)
Summarily, the bet benefits at Westfield are the abilities to learn, and working with exceptional team members.
Senior General Manager/Director of Development (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – September 6, 2018
Westfield was a phenomenal opportunity to grow, with early expeditious job/role advancement and promotion. Team members were collaborative, and the Company gave Team Leaders a great deal of oversight of Assets and Projects.
Manager (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – July 3, 2018
A hard driving culture with high expectations and muddled leadership that does great things. Many talented people and lots of opportunity to learn and grow professionally.

I do not want to give a review on this company at this time except for the work employee culture is great and would recommend people to Westfield should someone ask
Lead Visual Merchandiser (Former Employee) – Century City, CA – January 29, 2018
I had a great experience with Westfield with only one exception, managerial decisions are made at a snail's pace due to so many different people being involved in the decisions. Also the different departments and groups didn't seem to communicate with each other very effectively.
Receptionist and Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – January 18, 2018
The environment at Westfield is very laid back/ casual. No one is ever berthing down your throat to get your work done. Everyone is friendly. Westfield Corp. is your typical Corp. job with extra fun!
Senior Director (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – October 30, 2017
many changes in short time. Very Competitive place to work at. Long hours with little appreciation. There is no loyalty regardless of your years of service.
Productive, supportive and balanced work atmosphere
Director of Partnership Marketing (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – October 30, 2017
Westfield provided an environment where hard work was rewarded and the proper support was given to achieve desired results. Management challenged us however, set clear expectations and backed us in order to promote success and goal achievement.
Freelance Photographer (Current Employee) – New York, NY – August 16, 2017
I was a freelance photographer for Westfield Developments, Events, and Construction in the World Trade Center Oculus and surrounding NYC properties. The best part of the job was getting to network during events with high profile clients.
COST CONTROLLER (Current Employee) – San Jose, CA – June 9, 2017
The workplace is casual yet and easy going. The culture of the working environment is a bit different from the previous work place I have been employed.
Entry Level Marketing/Customer Service (Former Employee) – St. Louis, MO – May 10, 2017
started out as a college grad in the customer service department. Wasn't my "calling in life" but enjoyed the position and the people I worked with and for.
PMO Lead (contract) (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – May 5, 2017
For one of the world’s largest Shopping Mall developers and owners, facilitating workshops, collecting requirements and developing project plans to develop and implement a world class leasing system. Coordinated unit, system and integration testing with business users and technical teams
General Manager (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – April 19, 2017
Westfield's strength is in developing and upgrading malls. They have the best architects and developers on their staff. On the operations side, they take care of their management teams, but be aware, they will sell malls if there are no further development opportunities. Plus some of the executives that came over from Australia have unrealistic expectations of the mall scene here in the US.
Great job for those that don't want to do anything but stand around. Coworkers are fun but supervisors can be a pain. No benefits and no overtime hours.
Sr. Technology Deliver Manager (Current Employee) – Century City, CA – December 21, 2016
Westfield has a great work environment. Everyone here works as a team and the opportunities to learn and advance are amazing. They have super fun activities for fitness, movie night, happy hour etc...
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT & PROJECT COORDINATOR (Former Employee) – Los Angeles, CA – December 13, 2016
Simply put, I would not work at Westfield for all the money in the world. Horrible management, no opportunity for advancement, and horrible work culture.
Senior Concierge at Westfield Topanga (Former Employee) – Woodland Hills, CA – December 12, 2016
One of the best places to work with a great work environment, but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances the position got eliminated companywide.
Diverse learning opportunities in marketing, commercial real estate, leasing and management. Website management, customer service management, customer comments and complaint resolution, gift card sales management and reconciliation.
Senior QA Engineer (Former Employee) – San Francisco, CA – February 12, 2016
This was an insane place to work if you're a QA engineer. They 'fix forward' meaning the developers push to production multiple times a day without any QA of their work. They break the websites daily, but apparently that's ok with them. Very strange place.
Pros
Free lunches. Good pay
Cons
No processes. It's the worst of the wild, wild west
