Wise

You get to work with some really smart people [Tech]. People are really passionate about company values and what they are trying to achieve [business].

Tech is average. They have a monolith in Groovy (although most of it is moved to Java). Nobody wants to touch it. When they do, everything breaks!

Both teams and engineers are supposed to be super autonomous, and they take it to a whole new level. Most of the time, you get answers like, "Just Google! Don't disturb us. Be autonomous."

Not very collaborative teams; people work in silos. Collaboration equals status updates. They insist you Slack/message your teammates even if you are sitting next to them.

Feedback culture is quite good. It's constant, but the only problem is you will never be asked, "How can I help?"

Not everybody can fit into TransferWise's culture. It is perfect for people who like to come to the office at 9, don't like getting disturbed, finish work at 6, and head back home.
