Great for people who love ownership
The engineering teams at Wise are empowered to make all sorts of decisions. They are always in the driver's seat when it comes to product development and the roadmap. If you care about a cause or pain point, nobody can stop you from owning it and solving it (this is true even for non-engineering functions).
Teams and people are very nice to work with and are respectful, which makes collaborating a breeze. I think it's one of the best places for people who want to own their careers, as you have complete autonomy over them.
Autonomy comes with responsibilities. You might initially find it hard to see the lines between the ownership of different functions, essentially a side-effect of autonomous teams, but with enough time and practice, it's not that hard to get hold of.
