Pros

Wanderu is NOT a start-up based on a fad or an idea to build the next social network. It has a solid business model and has seen steady growth over time. It is powered by smart and passionate people that know the industry, care about the product, and are focused on serving customers. The culture is great because it is filled with caring, down to earth, diverse, and responsible people. Wanderu has been a great fit for my life and I enjoy the challenges I get to tackle every day. My work directly impacts customers. I have grown as an engineer and continue to do so as the company grows; it is a great place to grow a career.

Cons

Working for a smaller company or a start-up is not for everyone. You have to be the type of person who enjoys taking on challenges and responsibility. It's a fast-paced environment and the structure of projects are not like those in larger corporations. You have to be ok driving the bus while you fix it, so to say.

Pros

Wanderu has a great remote work environment that follows agile practices and always encourages their employees to feel empowered. In my time working here, I’ve always felt heard and my work has brought value to the company. I will recommend working here to anyone but especially to those who have passion for working in the bus and train industry.

Cons

Working in a small company, there is always going to be more work than can get done. Wanderu is no exception to this. However, they always push to take advantage of the unlimited PTO to prevent burn out.

Pros

You can work from home if you are employed by Wanderu. The whole team embraces diversity, doesn't hesitate to be who they are, and values their customers. Despite the drawbacks, it was an experience that I needed and helped shape who I am now.

Cons

They seldom give their employees the time they need during training. Throughout the initial week of their employment, they anticipate that they will perform flawlessly in every way. Teamwork isn't something they genuinely cherish. Unlike my current startup position, I hardly felt supported while I worked here. The hiring manager also lacks great accountability for miscommunication, which happens often.
