Pros

- unlimited snacks and drinks, lunches 2x week - all kinds of stipends - great benefits and many kinds of leave - great people to work with

Cons

- very strict hybrid setting, you are expected to show up everyday during probation - managers and software are extremely micro-managing - not enough space, you have to fight for a desk in the morning - impossible KPIs and metrics - customer support managers are unsupportive if you are not one of their favorites - will fire you if they personally do not like you

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're glad you enjoyed the benefits on offer and the people you got to work with at Wise. However we're sorry to hear that you haven’t always had a good experience at Wise. I do hope you were able to pass on your feedback before you left. We believe that in-office collaboration is key to building successful teams and fostering a culture and environment for people to collaborate and do their best work. That’s why, for the first 6 months after you join your team, you’re expected to be in the office most days to build connections and learn from your colleagues. When it comes to space - we're expanding our office in Austin so there will be lots more room coming soon. Regarding KPIs - 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. Implementing KPIs aims to provide clear expectations and support, helping team members align their efforts with our overall goals. We believe that a well-structured performance management framework not only aids individual growth but also enhances teamwork and collaboration. These KPIs are designed to not be burdensome but to guide and support, paving the way for personal development and improved outcomes. If you're up for sharing more, we’d be keen to hear further information about your experiences. Please drop us an email to employerbrand@wise.com and I can connect you with the relevant person.

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.
