Pros

The benefits of working from abroad for a extended period of time is great. The company also organises great parties.

Cons

After onboarding you are expected to have as much knowledge as senior specialists. Team leads find it to be a red flag that you ask too many questions and don't know everything by heart. They do not believe that you should know where you can find the answer but rather you need to know processes by heart. Even if you cope with the daily workload well you are expected to not just do your job well but also know what to do in emergency situations which most employees actually don't know. They are extremely dismissive of mental health. You need to keep working even through tears and panic attacks because your performance is measured every second. You can only have 30 min of lunchbreak. Team leads are not supportive of suggestions from newbies and discourage you to ask questions.

Pros

Mission-Driven Work: Wise’s mission of "money without borders" aligned perfectly with my personal values. I was genuinely excited to go to work every day, tackle challenges, and track our progress toward that goal. Exceptional Peer Group: The hiring bar is high; you’ll work with smart, diverse, and genuinely interesting people from all backgrounds. Cutting-Edge Product: Working on the Wise Platform is a great technical experience. As an Implementation Manager, you get excellent visibility and access to the Product and Engineering teams. Top-Tier Documentation: Internal enablement and documentation are highly organized, making it easy to self-serve and find answers quickly.

Cons

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.
