Everyone who’s worked at Wise is a shareholder and has some ownership of the company. Which (we think) is already pretty cool.

Transparency can mean working with the garage door open – not just to everyone working in the shop, but to customers as well.
Last year, our product teams published one of the most radically transparent career maps in the industry. And it’s had way more impact than we expected – from helping all our product managers feel treated fairly, to building a more diverse team, and supporting our hiring efforts.

Here's what hybrid working means, and why we're giving it a go 👇

We're planning to hire 750 people globally in the next six months. And one of the teams hiring the most will be engineering. So we thought it's a good time to shine a light on the engineering values at TransferWise – the ones we all live by, as we build money without borders, together 🚀
After launching our debit card, we’ve taken it to 30 countries, had over a million cards ordered, and we're still only getting started 🌎🚀 But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Here’s what we learned along the way – from getting the Äs in Kristo’s name on the card, to making sure our team scales along with the product:
We're hiring 750 people in the next six months! Turns out it takes more than a small town to build money without borders for the whole world. 🚀🌎
