Pros: - Benefits - Work-life balance - Home office - Flexible hours - Travel to other offices (though now only 3 times a year)

Cons: - Promotion: almost impossible to get promoted before the 2-year mark, however good your performance reviews are. - Salary: The pay bands are public, but don't expect to earn above the middle of the band if you don't start there. What happens otherwise is that you start at the bottom and get small raises that still keep you in the bottom each year, regardless of your reviews. - On-call: Officially, it's optional, but more important services require 24/7 on-call. - On-call: Instead of paying night, weekend, holiday, overtime, etc., allowances when the engineer is alerted, they just allow you to take the worked time off.

Pros: TransferWise employees get to travel a lot. Free lunch on Friday.

Cons: Full of people who are nice to your face but care about the company more than you. Their technical stack is very old. With the goal of every piece of work that is done to make some money, it’s left their products in a terrible position, as there is no attempt to pay off technical debt. The load speed of some of their web pages on mobile is what you’d expect to see from someone who has just started web development and has no idea what they’re doing. Lots of the site’s logic is stuck in templates. The tech leads are completely evangelical about outdated principles from books way out of date.

Pros: Good equipment, culture, perks, and benefits.

Cons: In my opinion, it faces problems with management in engineering teams. But people usually only talk about it behind the scenes. Obviously, when you are not affected, it is amazing.
