      Great

      Creative producer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - It's BigSmall: It's a big global company with the mindset of a small start-up. Amazing offices, a great name on your CV and the clout to make real change in the world, but with a totally grounded culture and that start-up spirit of always innovating and improving! - Autonomy: TransferWise has a really unique approach to autonomy; unlike anything I've experienced before. Rather than telling you what you should be doing, you're encouraged to try and work out yourself how you can best make an impact. This may sound wishy-washy, but the benefits really become apparent over time. You're encouraged to keep questioning, innovating and trying new things. It really allows you to grow as an individual and gives you whatever opportunities you're willing to take.

      Cons

      - Too decentralised?: The autonomous nature of the country can sometimes feel like a double-edged sword; which can mean it takes a long time to get things done or make big decisions. Making change at TransferWise is less about your status, and more about your ability to get democratic support behind your ideas. This can be inefficient, but it also has upsides and is a great life skill to build.

      A scale-up with the soul of a startup

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great culture - Relatable mission - Lots of autonomy (both a pro and a con) - Better life/work balance than most fintechs

      Cons

      Autonomous teams and mostly flat org means your opportunities to grow are limited - if you're looking for a career ladder you can climb, you're looking at the wrong place. Also, coordinating between teams can be difficult because there's little leadership to steer teams in the same direction. The end result is that most decisions are reactive - something that could have been sorted months before will only see proper action when they become minor crises.
