Pros

Trips twice a year for summer and winter days Health benefits: low cost/free

Cons

Low salary in the U.S due to lack of research for employees within the U.S There seems to be a lot of favortitism with employees in Estonia Micro-management/spying on employees Unable to receive constructive criticism senior management & subordinate, primarily in Estonia Lack of knowledge/experience, training within this field Plenty of miscommunication with its Tampa office in regards to updates on procedures Treat Tampa employees as clueless employees Having to conduct our own research in order to ask for a raise and never be given one, after multiple attempts Compliance team on-boarding clients despite the questionable activity conducted by business/individual With its current AML/EDD procedures in place, company is prone to on-board clients that are might be conducting illegal activities Compliance department (Chargeback, Verifications, AML/EDD, Fraud) are perceived not as important roles as Customer Service. Empty promises Tampa Salaries: C.S - $14 per hr, but after a year receive a $2.00 increase hourly Verifications aka On-boarding KYC/AML- $17 per hour Ops: $20 per hour but after a year, you also receive a $2.00 increase hourly The only department that has asked for a raised, provided documentation as reason for the raise multiple times and has yet to receive an actual raise is Verfications.

Pros

Mission-Driven Work: Wise’s mission of "money without borders" aligned perfectly with my personal values. I was genuinely excited to go to work every day, tackle challenges, and track our progress toward that goal. Exceptional Peer Group: The hiring bar is high; you’ll work with smart, diverse, and genuinely interesting people from all backgrounds. Cutting-Edge Product: Working on the Wise Platform is a great technical experience. As an Implementation Manager, you get excellent visibility and access to the Product and Engineering teams. Top-Tier Documentation: Internal enablement and documentation are highly organized, making it easy to self-serve and find answers quickly.

Cons

Lack of Transparency in Management: I received no negative feedback during my probation period, only to be placed on a PIP two weeks after it ended. The feedback loop is non-existent; instead of real-time coaching, minor oversights are "saved up" to justify disciplinary action. Poor Feedback Quality: The PIP I received felt AI-generated, filled with corporate jargon and lacking substantive examples of performance failure. It felt like a formality rather than a genuine attempt at development. Toxic Management Culture: There is a palpable sense of micromanagement and "back-stabbing" within certain leadership circles. The environment shifted from collaborative to manipulative, with a noticeable lack of directness and honesty. Growth Hurdles: The Sales team appears to be struggling to close deals, which impacts the overall momentum of the department.
