Wise reviews

I left my previous job to join Wise and due to delays with my work permit, I went without income for 4 months. I also had to pay a €1500 fine to my former company in order to leave and join Wise. After finally starting, I was terminated during the probation period and had to leave the country within 7 days, which caused by losing my residence permit-work visa. This experience caused severe financial and emotional distress. Despite consistently positive reviews and successfully passing QA accreditation, I never received any performance feedback or warnings from my Team Leader prior to termination. They also deducted €1,000 from my second and final salary for visa services.Everything was lawful, but cruel and inhumane.

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.
