Pros

- very capable and senior engineers, QA (testing) is also great! - very skilled CSMs, sales and professional services who know Wrike inside out - great salary! For Prague they pay really nice salary especially if you are a contractor - product is really powerful and is used internally for many use cases

Cons

Lack of skilled designers and product managers - designers and product managers are just bad in Wrike across all levels. Individual contributors just come up with ideas that are acceptable for junior PMs/designers. Managers/Leads don't coach their reports, don't share anything outside their unit with other managers/leaders and they also don't set up any processes or require any standards from their reports. Officially, there is a budget for conferences or for company travel, but it was never an option to actually use it Ignoring customer feedback - PMs and designers in Wrike don't process/categorize customer feedback - they often come up with features and designs based on some theoretical conceptual model in their minds rather than what actually makes sense for the user Lack of innovation - Wrike has massive amount of engineers capable of building lots of cool features. However, we don't really build anything new and let our competitors get ahead of us. Terrible product analytics - product usage is tracked in Tableau. It is loading very slowly, it is missing tracking of many user actions or shows completely outdated data. Both PMs and analysts don't care.

Pros

Supportive Management: Leadership is approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in employee growth and success. Regular feedback and open communication foster a positive work environment. Collaborative Team: The team culture is highly collaborative, with colleagues who are both talented and willing to help. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Positive Workplace Culture: Wrike promotes a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and continuous improvement. Employee well-being and engagement are clearly prioritized. Industry-Leading Product: The product itself is robust, flexible, and consistently evolving to meet customer needs. It’s rewarding to represent a solution that delivers real value to clients.

Cons

Structured Oversight: At times, there is a high level of oversight and process adherence, which can limit autonomy in decision-making. While this ensures consistency, it may occasionally slow down innovation or responsiveness. Limited Training on Procurement Processes: There is a noticeable gap in training related to the procurement process, which can create challenges during customer renewals. Enhanced resources and clearer guidance in this area would help streamline operations and improve the overall customer experience.

Pros

Strengthen transparency and consistency in communication, particularly around job security and performance expectations

Cons

I was at the company for a year and only met my department executive once. There’s basically zero communication between departments, and that disconnect slows everything down, especially between marketing and sales, and it’s why the company will never be on the same level as other project management platforms. The lack of accountability and communication at the top just turns into laziness across the whole company. They’re way too focused on AI, and I honestly don’t think they’ll be able to use it effectively before they’re forced to sell to private equity. There is one executive in the GTM department who is extremely controlling and unprofessional everyone says it, and multiple people have had to leave the department or switch even leave the company because of him. People get dragged into projects that have nothing to do with their job, and executives have admitted they’re replacing U.S. employees with cheaper international hires. If they keep doing this, cutting employees and relying on AI, the company is only going to keep declining.
