Pros

-Free food: free lunch, drinks, snacks, coffee. This part is great. There is no denying that. -Benefits: they offer full health insurance, dental, retirement, unlimited vacation (which sales doesn't always get to take) -kickoff: they take the entire company on a trip yearly (last 2 years to Mexico) all expenses paid

Cons

-Culture: the mountain view office environment is toxic. Everyone is complaining 24/7 about the things that are wrong: dwindling inbound lead flow with no outbound model built, awful (or nonexistent) management, lack of communication. It seems like San Diego is the future of Wrike and the mountain view office is struggling because of it. -office space: Wrike has very clearly outgrown their current office space. They've been promising a new office for almost a year now with no action. Tuenover: turnover is extremely high these days. No one wants to come into the office because it's so negative so people are leaving. Wrike has lost 3 members of the management team and about 4-5 individual contributors in the last 2 months. It doesn't seem like this problem is getting better. -Equality: some teams have the autonomy to do whatever they want and others are on a tight leash. Because management is lacking and there's no set of standards, it creates tension between the "haves" and "have nots" -Compensation: compensation is significantly under market value. They try to make it up with benefits and fancy beer but they lose really qualified candidates to low comp plans. This creates angst among fellow employees. -Management: there doesn't seem to be a clear picture of where the company is going. Project management is hard to make fun, but if the employees lose passion the product will continue to sink. It also takes the engineers forever to build anything and new releases are always buggy. It leaves salespeople to look like they made empty promises and they can't build strong relationships with clients. -Lack of fun events: sometimes low pay can be evened out with fun events but these are far and few between now. Honestly, it's a really tough environment to work in.

Pros

Supportive Management: Leadership is approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in employee growth and success. Regular feedback and open communication foster a positive work environment. Collaborative Team: The team culture is highly collaborative, with colleagues who are both talented and willing to help. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Positive Workplace Culture: Wrike promotes a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and continuous improvement. Employee well-being and engagement are clearly prioritized. Industry-Leading Product: The product itself is robust, flexible, and consistently evolving to meet customer needs. It’s rewarding to represent a solution that delivers real value to clients.

Cons

Structured Oversight: At times, there is a high level of oversight and process adherence, which can limit autonomy in decision-making. While this ensures consistency, it may occasionally slow down innovation or responsiveness. Limited Training on Procurement Processes: There is a noticeable gap in training related to the procurement process, which can create challenges during customer renewals. Enhanced resources and clearer guidance in this area would help streamline operations and improve the overall customer experience.

Pros

Strengthen transparency and consistency in communication, particularly around job security and performance expectations

Cons

I was at the company for a year and only met my department executive once. There’s basically zero communication between departments, and that disconnect slows everything down, especially between marketing and sales, and it’s why the company will never be on the same level as other project management platforms. The lack of accountability and communication at the top just turns into laziness across the whole company. They’re way too focused on AI, and I honestly don’t think they’ll be able to use it effectively before they’re forced to sell to private equity. There is one executive in the GTM department who is extremely controlling and unprofessional everyone says it, and multiple people have had to leave the department or switch even leave the company because of him. People get dragged into projects that have nothing to do with their job, and executives have admitted they’re replacing U.S. employees with cheaper international hires. If they keep doing this, cutting employees and relying on AI, the company is only going to keep declining.
