Pros

Great Benefits. Cool people to work with. Nice office. Free lunch 2 days a week. Great room for growth into other departments (for now at least)

Cons

Leadership is full of people who epitomize "you rise to the level of your incompetence". Product team will move forward with changes without telling anyone, even compliance teams. Generally very hard to work with since they tend to be very arrogant. Large push towards outsourcing and lack of tools for CS to effectively do their job. CS tools we do have are constantly breaking (Im talking to you Twilio). Everything is now done just to reduce costs, regardless of if it works.

Pros

The first few months are exciting because you pick up a lot, even if you’re surrounded by toxic micro-managers.

Cons

- Large drain of upper management within the finance team developed an extremely toxic environment while teams were being consolidated. - The work is interesting in the beginning, but since it’s so flat structured, 6 months in there is no scope for growth or learning. - Aggressive targets without any support or help. Toxic environment where you’re micro managed. Some Heads are promoted too early and have no people skills to know how to treat people. - The stock options are not worth much and hence compensation is well, well below market standards with no room for negotiation. In short, bad environment, you’re treated poorly, menial work, no scope for improvement, all while you’re paid below market standards.

Pros

1, Good benefit, standard holidays + 3 Me days + 5 Compansonate days ( you can use for any time) 2, Free drinks, snacks 3, Nice office 4, You can get 6-week sabbatical leaves after working for 4 years with a 1000 pound bonus 5, Free monthly transportation pass

Cons

1, Most of the employees (including team leaders and high management) are very young people, who worked in the CS team for a while and then get promoted to be team leaders. Wise is their first job after graduation. They lack experience in handling relationship conflicts, and providing proper feedback but are very arrogant. 2, The company is keeping proposing that feedback is an important element however, it never ever gives you the right feedback. During the probation period, I asked the TL how the probation should be. She said oh some ppl needed 3 months and some ppl needed 6 months. Everyone was different but you were doing well. No worries at all. The next week, I asked her to tell me what the KPI and expectation were and she said you were doing good. We had 5-6 times 1-1 but she never honestly told you how your performance was and how she measured it. She only said everything was ok. Then, you know what. On the last day of my probation in the afternoon, she suddenly sent you an invitation with HR and informed you that you constantly made mistakes and you didn't pass the probation. Today was your last working day. I asked her to tell me honestly what kind of mistakes I made would cause me not to pass the probation. The answer was that you were nice and professional. You did a good job. However, I don't see you cared about this job. This job requires fast and precise. You are not suitable for it. No idea why she only told you this funny comment on the last day before you were kicked out from the company. Why didn't she give me any feedback during the probation period? Ridiculous!
