Pros

I've worked at Wave for about 4 years and don't plan to leave any time soon. The people at Wave are brilliant, kind and hardworking, and the science and programs are very promising and inspiring. Management has worked to improve transparency and streamline decision-making. I am also very proud of the diversity and inclusion at the company including the strong representation of women at management levels. The future seems bright for Wave!

Cons

Very fast paced environment and people always seem really busy.

Pros

Dont work here. actively not hiring for posted job listings

Cons

This company is clearly not hiring for this role or other coop program listings. I've been searching for a coop and this role was one of the first I applied for. This listing has been re posted several times of the past 4 months with no one ever being hired. This company should be avoided. If they have job listings they are not actually hiring for what does that tell you about how they will treat you if you actually worked there
