Pros

Working with nice colleagues A paycheck

Cons

- Unstable leadership: Frequent turnover in top leadership created uncertainty and lack of direction. - Poor project management: Many projects were outsourced to cut costs, leading to mismanagement and lack of control. - Misleading recruitment: The interview process was misleading, with critical information withheld. - Lack of documentation and training: Projects are poorly documented, and new hires receive minimal training. I was hesitant about writing this review, but I hope it will save others from potential headaches. The technology department at WEX is currently in disarray. Top leaders have left, creating an unclear direction for the future. For years, WEX outsourced many projects to cut operational costs. However, they recently decided to "take control of the projects" and hired us for this transition. During the interview process, I was misinformed on multiple fronts. Key details were hidden from me, likely due to their desperation to hire experienced professionals. My advice: if you have relevant experience, seek opportunities elsewhere. You deserve better. While WEX isn’t entirely bad, the company is struggling due to poor decisions made over the past few years. Save yourself the trouble unless you’re in a desperate situation. If you do join, be prepared for a challenging environment with minimal project documentation and inadequate training.
