      Pros

      - Flexibility - Some free food - Learning new things

      Cons

      - Extreme micromanagement, the company pretends to be a "cool and relaxed" company allowing you to work from pretty much anywhere, however once you're outside the office, your activity is constantly tracked. - People trying to pass on the decision making responsibility when facing a complicated situation - Those who joined the company first make the rules about the policies and other work related stuff. Agents only think of their QA scores, and not so much about the customer experience since there are no established rules, and this subjectivity may result in bad QA results. - Company shows a very inflated image during onboarding, but in a few months it's easy to see that it's just another environment where people try to step on others to go higher. - Management is incompetent as useless. For most, this is their first management role in their career, so they think micromanaging people makes a good team lead. - You cannot be nice to some people, they will see it as a weakness and try to have their way. - Very poor, almost non-existent training during the onboarding. If you want to learn anything you have to ask stuff around.

      Pros

      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.

      Cons

      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.
