Pros

Some great people and a good product

Cons

The entire company has lost sight of its own product. Expect non stop meetings for their own sake, 80s style fear based managing, people being busy instead of productive.

Thank you for your feedback on your experience at Wrike. One of our core values at Wrike is to grow, which means embracing change, and consistently evolving our product to meet our clients’ needs. As we are growing very quickly, our product teams are working hard to ensure that Wrike continues to exceed our client’s expectations and CWM needs. We quickly learned we have a real opportunity to support companies during the unprecedented times that have come along with COVID-19. We began with Wrike Relief, which offers our product at no cost to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and relief organizations, with the goal of helping them plan, collaborate, and stay connected with one another across offices, in transit, and in the field. Our product team did not stop there, as they continued to add Business Continuity Plans, which help businesses reduce the impact of COVID-19 on critical operations, as well as Wrike Remote Work Templates, helping virtual teams adapt to life outside of the physical office. There were many other efforts our team came together to provide to our clients during these challenging times including weekly webinars, Wrike for Students, and significantly discounted licenses for new users. This can be challenging work, which is why we continue to remind - and encourage - employees to use our unlimited PTO policy so they can take time for rest and recovery when it is needed most. In terms of leadership, we regularly host optional AMAs (ask me anything) with our C-Suite, so Wrikers can get clarification around shifts in priorities and how we are meeting the needs of our clients. Leaders may also have regular meetings with their teams in an effort to improve communication flow in a virtual environment, which has become especially important in light of COVID-19. We also regularly run 360 evaluations on all of our leaders, which allows team members to give direct and anonymous feedback to managers, who are then held accountable for implementing an action plan based on said feedback. If you wish to further discuss your concerns or provide suggestions on improving the employee experience, feel free to reach out to us at hr-us@team.wrike.com.

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.
