Pros

good pay, smart colleagues, equity

Cons

rash decision making. there were layoffs in November, the company promised they were done, and then there were more layoffs in January and February. I was a fulltime employee and was saddened how management treats hourly employees.....the company changes directions so quickly they will hire 50+ hourly employees and then rescind all offers the following week because the vision changed....again.... to save money, they cut diversity, sustainability, and now 401k match... beware too.... the "HQ" is in NYC but this was a poor financial choice and they are trying to make the company relocate HQ to Parsippany New Jersey.....

Cons

-Be ready to grind and be prepared for constant change -No corporate fluff of any kind, even the good kind of fluff (be prepared to DIY: on/offboard yourself, etc.) -Some carry the workload far more than others

Pros

- Very well thought-out performance and promotion cycle: Wonder may be a start-up, but they clearly invest a lot of time and effort into growing their employees, ensuring adequate actionable feedback, and allowing for growth during your time with the company. - Transparency: During my time at Wonder, I did not think much about this, but having moved on to a new company, I start to appreciate the level of transparency Wonder had. Despite its size and volume, the company made it an effort to keep employees updated every other week on key business updates across various verticals. - Flexibility: Hybrid in-office model at the time when I left earlier in 2026, they allowed 2 days wfh and 3 in-person days on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. - Employee benefits: The company had a strong employee relations team and culture that's constantly bringing fun and exciting events to work.

Cons

- Core of the company's leadership came from the same ex-company, which inevitably brings over legacy culture, and this can somewhat make employees from those companies feel somewhat left out.
