      Pros

      - Great flexibility and work-life balance. WFH is common. 'mobile wiser program' that allows employee to work from other countries which is great for travel enthusiast and people who wants to work from home country for a short period for whatever reason. Supportive environment for people having a meaningful life outside of work such as working parents/carers, people doing further education/side hustle while working, hobby, etc. - Most team members are genuinely great to work with. Can't say there is totally no backstabber/political person but it is quite minimal from my experience. - There are significant numbers of 'boomeranger' - employee who left Wise and re-joined Wise again. A strong sign that the culture is welcoming and positive to the employee.

      Cons

      - Salary is relatively lower than peer fintech. Though, there are many intangible benefits that could make up for the lower salary. - Just as many fintech with primarily younger employee, many mid-level leadership are younger employee with little leadership experience. Though the company does provide leadership training. - Depending on your role, it may not be a good fit for someone who just want to work/think 'inside the box' only. - Depending on your office location, career progression could be very limited for smaller office.

      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.
