Pros

Free food in the office, free pizza.

Cons

They expect you to work all the time. There are metrics that measure if you are slacking even a minute off, and your team lead will present you data every month on how bad you and everyone else worked, and how hard you should be working - no matter what is your reality, they only care about crunching numbers. There are always waiting lines, and backlogs, and piles of old work that makes customers furious because Wise is selling something that's not true (instant transfers). Get ready to be called a biyatch and shouted at on a regular basis. Your team lead and bosses will not care, no matter how much abuse you take, you should be able to take it, and 'relax and release stress at home' apparently that's what your free time is for. They say that you can move on if you prove yourself, that's only true if you are friends with the right people, and you keep your mouth shut. Your bosses will literally sit through meetings all day, not doing nothing, but then come down raging on you to work harder. Forget about going to any of the fun events the company organizes, or having any holidays, in CS they don't allow you to do that. They try to lure you in with that, but essentially thats only for the fancier positions.

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.
