Pros

Benefits package is excellent, with good PTO, stock grants, comfortable office with weekly lunches and events. Company does a good job respecting identity of employees and letting them be themselves.

Cons

No job growth. Roles are few and far between. When a role is open to both internal and external hires, they tend to hire external. Tampa has been turned into a zero growth office. Opportunities in Austin will not offer relocation assistance. If you work here, you're not getting a raise and you're not getting a role outside of your initial department. Metrics metrics metrics. No matter what your coworkers think and give positive feedback on, if you have a single metric out of place you can forget any kind of progression.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoy the benefits package on offer, as well as the office environment and inclusive culture. Our goal is to help our customers as quickly as possible when they need assistance and setting KPIs helps ensure we’re able to meet this goal and identify gaps where we may need to invest in the future. These KPIs are designed to not be burdensome but to guide and support, paving the way for personal development and improved outcomes. If you'd like to share further feedback about your experience, I hope you feel comfortable to make yourself known to one of our People Advisors so we can sit down and discuss it with you to get a better understanding. We’d really like to hear more and see what we can do to improve things for you.

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.
