Wise

TransferWise has a really cool working culture. The people here are nice and willing to help you out. Each and every one takes initiative and their responsibility seriously:

1. No blaming: Whenever you make a mistake, accept it, fix it, then tell everyone your lesson. No one is going to blame you for that.
2. Absolutely no politics: You don't exactly have a boss; more like a mentor, guide, or leader, and normally they act like your friend.
3. Great learning curve: The company has a startup culture; most people have to do lots of stuff on the ground, which opens opportunities to learn.
4. Direct feedback on your performance from your co-workers: Every quarter or half a year, you will get feedback from people you have worked with about what you have done and what needs to be done.
5. Free trip to Estonia every year for a company event, where all employees gather, party, and have fun for 3 days.

1. Compensation is only acceptable.
2. Learning curve stales after the first year; there's not much else to do, and work becomes chores.
3. The company is growing too fast. Newcomers and people constantly moving between departments make it hard to have a stable team.
4. People have to define their own career path since the company is not clear on this.

1. Catch up with market compensation.
2. Give clear career path.
