Pros

- unlimited snacks and drinks, lunches 2x week - all kinds of stipends - great benefits and many kinds of leave - great people to work with

Cons

- very strict hybrid setting, you are expected to show up everyday during probation - managers and software are extremely micro-managing - not enough space, you have to fight for a desk in the morning - impossible KPIs and metrics - customer support managers are unsupportive if you are not one of their favorites - will fire you if they personally do not like you

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad you enjoyed the benefits on offer and the people you got to work with at Wise. However we're sorry to hear that you haven’t always had a good experience at Wise. I do hope you were able to pass on your feedback before you left. We believe that in-office collaboration is key to building successful teams and fostering a culture and environment for people to collaborate and do their best work. That’s why, for the first 6 months after you join your team, you’re expected to be in the office most days to build connections and learn from your colleagues. When it comes to space - we're expanding our office in Austin so there will be lots more room coming soon. Regarding KPIs - our goal is to help our customers as quickly as possible when they need assistance and setting KPIs helps ensure we’re able to meet this goal and identify gaps where we may need to invest in the future. Implementing KPIs aims to provide clear expectations and support, helping team members align their efforts with our overall goals. We believe that a well-structured performance management framework not only aids individual growth but also enhances teamwork and collaboration. These KPIs are designed to not be burdensome but to guide and support, paving the way for personal development and improved outcomes. If you're up for sharing more, we’d be keen to hear further information about your experiences. Please drop us an email to employerbrand@wise.com and I can connect you with the relevant person.

Pros

A lot of surveys to know about employees feelings - Zero acknowledgment, promises about the miserable schedule but lying like we were children

Cons

Avoid this company if you can, you will be happy at the beggining, but after few months when you see the growing process is ZERO, leadership is mediocre and incompetent, you will want to Run Faraway

Pros

- When initially joining the organization, I was very pleased to hear from senior leadership about the direction of the company and it's internal policies.

Cons

- Shortly after joining, they rolled out a return-to-office mandate that was not only poorly executed, but the management of pushbacks and concerns from workforce were poorly handled. Town halls that led to essentially to worker's not having their concerns heard, just blanket statements and avoiding the hard questions. No real reason was given outside of "increasing collaboration" which was not necessary for 90% of the roles and their functions.
