Pros

People are TransferWise are passionate about the company, and there is a very strong buy-in to the company mission. People are trusted to make product decisions, with data being the main driver for decision making. Incredible onboarding experience makes you feel welcome and at home very quickly.

Cons

It's a large company, so it's hard to know where to find things as it's grown very quickly. But this is getting easier and easier as it has matured as a company.

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.
