Pros

Wise offers an incredibly supportive and positive work environment. From day one, I felt welcomed and valued. The company culture is outstanding, inclusive, transparent, and empowering. The team encourages collaboration, open communication, and genuinely cares about both employee and customer experience. The flexibility is amazing, including thoughtful benefits and even the ability to bring pets to the office, which makes the environment even more enjoyable. Every process and initiative is clearly aligned with Wise’s mission, which gives real purpose to our daily work.

Cons

Honestly, I have not encountered any significant drawbacks. Coming from a very rigid and inflexible environment, I find Wise to be exceptional in almost every aspect.

Pros

- The environment is good with free breakfast/lunch one a week and snacks/drinks, - Remuneration was quite ok with annual stock. - A good company to work for if you have a good management team who are supportive, appreciate what you are trying to achieve and see the long term picture. - Most of the people and other teams I worked with were decent and helpful. - You will learn a ton in a very short time, as the speed of movement at Wise is rapid.

Cons

- Wise has positive values, but only if management follow those values, which they do not. - Watch out for big egos in clique groups, You may be terminated on a whim unless you are in 'The Club,' and it is not conducted in a decent or humane way. I have seen this happen to people. Managers set you up for failure, not success. This is due to cultural underexposure, immaturity and insecurity. Good managers would always have positive intent in all situations and rise to the challenge of getting the best out of people. - The written values are Customers > team > ego. In my experience, the actual values are Ego > Customer > Team - The mission comes first, regardless. - There is really a lot to do, with little support. This is the challenge with allowing people to be autonomous, especially if management is overseas with no cultural/regional understanding or exposure. They have no clue of the challenges or the work being done. They look at the numbers that can be generated and draw their own opinions based on subjectivity + objectivity in that order. - Generating reports and pulling useful data is near impossible, there is a lot of untracked work people do that cannot be measured, because the mechanisms do not exist to do so. - You cannot generate your own data even if it is accurate, it must come from the 'source of truth.' - Decisions are made by managers without hard data, but if you want to make a change, you need hard data. - Best to prepare yourself to not spend time with family if you have children, as you will put in a lot of extra hours and weekend work for nought.
