Pros: Nice people and yearly party

Cons: This company used to be a great place to work at. Now, it’s process-bloated but stuck with the same leadership team since its startup days. Most of them are there because they joined early.

Pros: Autonomous teams, an inclusive environment, and a well-defined tech stack.

Cons: No cons so far at this position.

Pros: There's some good technology, and a lot of good engineers you can work with and build some things.

Cons: Typical scale-up treadmill issues are deeply rooted in low compensation. Incompetent, low-caliber managers and workplace politics are the things that make Wise NOT a place you want to work for. The business is overselling the dream of 'changing the world' (ultimately for someone else's fat pocket) and has created a cult to keep people overdelivering. Couple this with woke/identity politics and reverse discrimination in the name of 'USA style diversity' because it helps funding, and you have the perfect toxic laboratory.
