Pros

* The company's culture is great - people feel valued and are expected to share their opinion and thoughts. * Growth opportunities - opportunity to learn new things and acquire new skills. Possibility to move to different teams and different roles.

Cons

If you are not a fan of changes, then TransferWise might be too much to handle, because company keeps growing and things are at constant change. If on Friday you used to follow one procedure, on Monday you might already have a new way of doing things. You need to keep yourself up-to-date.

Pros

As an immigrant, when you first get to the US, you get to do all types of jobs that you never even thought you will be capable to do. When I joined TransferWise, it was life changing. Here you are treated as a person. Here we care about our team, about all other teams and of course about our customers. You feel like this is the kind of job everyone deserves. A job where one feels appreciated, respected, valued. Your voice is heard here and I'm so happy to be part of the revolution.

Cons

Nothing bad to say, amazing company :)

Pros

Awesome medical benefits, tight knit work culture, indepence to make your own decisions and path, yearly travel for all positions, free lunch and office foods, dog friendly, great office location with lots of after work life, super work life balance. If you can handle a bit of chaos and misorganization, you will really thrive here, especially if you are a young professional or just out of school.

Cons

Because of the "autonomous teams" concept, there is a lot of inconsistency between teams on internal processes.. "well, that's how that team does it, but we do it THIS way", it provides an inconsistent experience for customers and employees. There is a pay cap after a certain amount of time working here. You are not rewarded for side projects or extra responsibilities, you will get paid the same as another person on your team with zero side projects. The pay is lower than the market average. There is absolutely no overarching framework for handling performance or team issues. There is no office wide QA system or preformance methods, basically youre at the mercy of what the leads determine is important for your team. There are no checks on how leads operate and it feels like there is no one to go to with those concerns. People get fired, and people get afraid. There is no way to know what steps were taken to make that firing decision because it can vary so wildly from lead to lead. I understand that it's a "right to work" state, but there should be some foundation laid down by HR, something like a verbal warning, written warning, improvement plan, then firing if all else fails unless it is some UNFORGIVABLE offense.
