An awesome place to work for people who like a dynamic environment
An awesome place to work for people who like a dynamic environment
- Good work-life balance
- Fast-growing company
- Stock options for all employees
- High level of transparency
- Reasonably flat organization
- Owners and leadership are accessible
- It's truly mission-driven
- In general, people are quite nice
- Teams are highly autonomous (which I really like, but it can also be a con depending on what you're looking for)
-
TransferWise really cares about its mission, and that's quite nice. But sometimes I wish that we could have more missions other than only "Money without borders." For example, we are not very into closing the economic gap or reducing gender inequality.

In general, people here are quite nice. When someone is clearly rude, the person receives feedback and can eventually be fired. However, there are some grey areas, especially when the person is rude but at the same time is a high performer. If it was up to me, I would not allow these "rude but high performer" people at TransferWise.
