Pros

Nice offices and free snacks lol but nothing else

Cons

Hands down, the most unprofessional company I have ever had the misfortune of working for. This place is for you if: • You’re Gen Z or fully committed to acting like one — “OG you’re the GOAT,” “that’s slayyy,” emojis in every single message, including work emails. Absolutely unhinged. • You’re a master at playing politics, fake-smiling through every interaction, and being so two-faced you need two mirrors to get ready in the morning. • You’re perfectly fine being gaslit, lied to, and strung along with the same recycled promises year after year — “next year you’ll get promoted,” “next year you’ll finally make it to mission days.” Next year never comes. It never will. If none of that sounds like you — run. The management is flat-out incompetent, full stop. Your mental health? Not their problem. Your hard work? Completely invisible. You can give everything you’ve got, go above and beyond every single day, and your grand reward will be a “good job!” and an insulting $20 raise. Twenty. Dollars. Save yourself.

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.
