Vantaggi

Free snacks and food. Annual trips abroad to Estonia.

Svantaggi

Inexperienced tech leads who were promoted only on the basis of tenure at the company. Cross team collaboration was incredibly difficult. "Autonomous" teams were only interested in their vertical and wouldn't give you the time of day. Senior product managers having no idea about the basics of agile methodologies Product engineering role was incredibly stressful - you're expected to do everything an engineer does along with everything a product manager does whilst PMs do nothing. Leadership were terrible - it felt like a cult most of the time with everybody saying how great the CEO was.

Vantaggi

Mission-Driven Work: Wise’s mission of "money without borders" aligned perfectly with my personal values. I was genuinely excited to go to work every day, tackle challenges, and track our progress toward that goal. Exceptional Peer Group: The hiring bar is high; you’ll work with smart, diverse, and genuinely interesting people from all backgrounds. Cutting-Edge Product: Working on the Wise Platform is a great technical experience. As an Implementation Manager, you get excellent visibility and access to the Product and Engineering teams. Top-Tier Documentation: Internal enablement and documentation are highly organized, making it easy to self-serve and find answers quickly.

Svantaggi

Lack of Transparency in Management: I received no negative feedback during my probation period, only to be placed on a PIP two weeks after it ended. The feedback loop is non-existent; instead of real-time coaching, minor oversights are "saved up" to justify disciplinary action. Poor Feedback Quality: The PIP I received felt AI-generated, filled with corporate jargon and lacking substantive examples of performance failure. It felt like a formality rather than a genuine attempt at development. Toxic Management Culture: There is a palpable sense of micromanagement and "back-stabbing" within certain leadership circles. The environment shifted from collaborative to manipulative, with a noticeable lack of directness and honesty. Growth Hurdles: The Sales team appears to be struggling to close deals, which impacts the overall momentum of the department.
