I wish TransferWise would take a hard look at its problems instead of promoting fake reviews

Pros

People are nice, and some engineers are very good.

Cons

TransferWise sings a very pretty song about culture but does not follow through on it. There is lots of micromanagement coming from team leads, making mandates left and right. Team leads apply company culture only when it suits them.

TransferWise promotes fake Glassdoor reviews. Five pages of five-star reviews from one team at one location in one day. Using peer pressure to get low-paid customer support agents, who are already afraid of losing their jobs, to give five-star reviews is NOT cool!

Advice to Management

You need to stop promoting people just because they have been around long enough. And you need to seriously start hiring leads from outside.
