Pros
Their vision of changing the way people think about work has really landed for me. Before joining Wiser, I honestly saw work as something you just had to push through - a grind, something separate from real life. Now I see it as a place where you can grow, feel supported, and actually enjoy the day-to-day. It took me out of the survival mode I think a lot of people fall into living in a busy city like London. That shift has been huge for me.
I worked in the ops team managing the podcast studio, and the atmosphere was consistently uplifting. The people are bright, funny, supportive, and bring a naturally good energy into the office. It’s one of the first places I’ve worked where the culture isn’t just a buzzword and it genuinely shows up in how people treat each other.
The office had a flexible dog policy system, which made a massive difference for me. I could bring my pup into the office when I needed to, and everyone genuinely loved having dogs around. It added to the warm, human feel of the place and made coming in even more enjoyable.
On a personal level, I felt really supported. When I started thinking about taking a different direction in my life, the founder was there for me - encouraging me, helping me think things through, and supporting me while I figured out my next step. That kind of openness and care is rare, and it meant a lot.
Cons
I’m pretty surprised to read some of the negative reviews. Work will never be perfect anywhere, but I genuinely haven’t had one experience that felt off or jarring - which is a big contrast to previous roles I’ve had.
