Pros

In Transferwise you feel that you are making the difference, your opinions are listened to and you have quite a lot of freedom on what you work on (the freedom can be even a bit scary at the start especially when coming from a more top-down business). The company and product are evolving very fast, in 6 months a lot has changed. Being part of a product that is used around the world and that solves a real problem feels great :) Plus the people and culture is awesome

Cons

There can be some confusion and chaos but you will get used to it. The perks compared to other tech companies are subpar: smaller salaries, no bonuses, less free food, no electric desks etc.

Pros

Good PTO, and friendly Wisers.

Cons

Management is totally micromanagement, and the People team does not advocate for employees; they appear present only in name. If I were in Kristo’s position, I would conduct a thorough top-to-bottom review of the entire HR department of U.S., and replace all of them. If over 70% of the Austin team would never recommend this workplace, it is a significant warning sign that needs to be addressed.
