Pros

- Mostly nice people that you work with (but have zero time to actually talk to); - Salary and benefits are ok; - The office is modern and looks nice; - It's a good experience to see how the company operates; - 30 days of a notice period so you can get out soon after you find a better job.

Cons

- The job advertisement and the reality are very different; - Personal development opportunities close to zero; - The salary is average but considering the expectations, the workload and the stress, it is really not worth it; - Soul crushing corporate job that is promoted as something super cool. - Flexibility is actually only expected from the employees, you can't really schedule your work as you wish; - If you like to be treated like a robot instead of a human being, it' a great place where to work.

Hi, thank you for your review. I’m really sad to hear this was your experience at Wise. This is the opposite of how we want our people to feel, in particular your frustrations at personal development opportunities. I do hope you were able to leave your thoughts with your lead, or the People team before you left. If you're up for a conversation, I’d like to hear more about your particular experience, so feel free to email employerbrand@transferwise.com so we could connect. Best wishes, Maire

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.
