Pros

- The people here truly make the company great - There’s a flexible working culture - We offer market-leading benefits that really enhance employee satisfaction - Being part of a company with such an amazing product is incredibly rewarding

Cons

- Career progression can be unclear, which leaves many employees feeling stuck - There have been frequent changes in recruitment leadership and strategies, leading to confusion about direction. Unfortunately, the individual recruiters are feeling the pressure from this lack of clarity - The general sentiment across the business is one of dissatisfaction with the recruitment org, indicating serious leadership issues - While there’s a heavy workload, recognition for hard work is lacking, and expectations can be unrealistic - The changes in recruitment tooling have led to inefficiency and workflow disruptions. While these changes have reduced budget costs, they've also created inefficiencies, resulting in a heavy reliance on contractors to keep up with demand. Leadership should evaluate whether the short-term budget savings are worth the cost to productivity - There are many individuals in Product and Engineering who have advanced without diverse experiences, resulting in a "my way or the highway" mentality that hampers growth - Although "Customers > Team > Ego" is a core value, senior leadership often fails to embody this principle in their actions - Communication across the business is severely lacking, leaving employees in the dark about important updates and changes. It's remarkable how well the product performs given the state of internal operations

Pros

The benefits are good. They offer paid parental leave and also give employees RSUs.

Cons

Senior Leadership loves to endorse a “feedback culture” but it truly doesn’t exist here anymore. Employees are not heard and they are constantly changing things ( for the worst). The main focus now has shifted to the Company’s bottom line. They do not care how their decisions affect the employees.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Although you appreciate the benefits on offer, we’re disappointed to hear that you’re not having a good experience at Wise regarding senior leadership. If you’d be willing to share more about it to help us improve, please speak to your lead or drop a note to your local People Advisor and they will be happy to arrange a chat with you. Alternatively you can send us a message at employerbrand@wise.com and we'll be happy to pass on any details (anonymously of course). Thanks, Nicola
