      Not everything it seems

      Recruiter
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good benefits + welfare - people are generally willing to welcome you when you join - shiny office

      Cons

      - its all about being the loudest voice in the room. - you can fill roles, headhunt and teach hiring managers how to interview, but essentially your performance is pegged to contributing to "projects" that take way to much time out of your general day/week - all about being famous on Slack

      Hi, thank you for your review. I’m really sad to hear this was your experience at Wise. This is the opposite of how we want people to feel, in particular your concerns around performance and compensation. We're regularly reviewing our salary ranges to ensure they continue to be competitive as well as equal. I do hope you were able to leave your thoughts with your lead, or the People team before you left. If you're up for a conversation, I’d like to hear more about your particular experience, especially around your concerns around performance. Email us at employerbrand@transferwise.com to connect. Best wishes, Maire

      Great place to work, but not to develop a career

      Analyst

      Pros

      - You get a lot of responsibility which makes you learn a lot quick - There is no (micro)management at all. People trust you entirely in your job. - Work hours and location are very flexible (even before COVID). Nobody cares if you come in late, or leave early from time to time. It's mainly about your results, people don't mind how you achieve them. - Frequent team nights and trips with your coworkers are amazing. Going to work quickly feels like hanging out with friends.

      Cons

      - The autonomous culture is great: you look for your own projects and work on what you think is important. I personally liked it, but for some people this might be confusing and hard. - The organization is very flat: there's almost no hierarchy. This means you get a lot of decision making power and freedom. But this also means that there is no real way to develop a 'career' within TransferWise. You can only really become a team lead, which is only possible if your lead leaves. Beyond that there's no way to 'climb up the ladder'. The CEO himself said that he 'doesn't want people to come to TransferWise to develop careers'. - You'll be assigned to an autonomous team, meaning that as an analyst you'll be working with a team of engineers, product manager, designer, etc. There is no functional departments. This has its advantages but it also means you're alone in your role. There's no real senior analysts to learn from.

      It's not what it once was, Company is becoming the typical Corporate and call-center.

      Hi, thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us and I’m really sad to hear this is how you’re currently feeling. It’s our job in the People team to make sure everyone’s happy and to hear honest feedback and see if we can take actions so we can get better. If you feel comfortable to make yourself known, I can connect you with a member of the team to chat about the issues you raise face-to-face. We’d really like to hear more and see what we can do to improve things for you. Best wishes, Jihan
