Pros
Fantastic people in both of their US offices (Tampa & NYC). Great work culture with many team events including team outings, Friday lunches and fika. Opportunity for travel
Cons
There is a lot of work to be done, so you need to be up for the challenge

Pros
- Opportunities to work on exciting projects in a rapidly expanding company - Mission driven culture where everyone is working hard - Amazing co-workers (who bring well behaved dogs to work!) who are drama free - No silly rules or mindless bureaucracy that you find at large financial institutions - Leadership and career development opportunities for those that pursue them - Regular open performance feedback -... Great benefits package and stock options - Generous leave and holiday policies - Zero deductible health insurance option in the US - Work travel (depending on your role)
Show MoreCons
- Salary compensation is not competitive for many roles - Feedback heavy culture requires a growth mindset and isn't for the thin-skinned
Advice to Management
Raising compensation levels would make TransferWise a more competitive employer for talent. Benefits and culture only go so far to attract and retain talent.

Pros
I've worked in at many companies, in many different industries. This is far and away the best place I've worked. We provide a legitimately helpful, beneficial service to our clients, with no downside to anyone. My colleagues are some of the most intelligent, dynamic, kind people I've ever met. The culture is open, inclusive, not rigid at all.
Cons
Every medium-large company has a certain amount of bureaucracy. TransferWise is no different. But it has less of it than I've experienced before. People who need a ton of structure — who need to be told what to do to do their job — might struggle here. Being a self-starter is rewarded. Also there is not necessarily a steady, prescribed path to moving up. You move up if you do good work, but there's... no formula (years + KPIs, for instance) that guarantees it. At least not that I've seen. I actually like that. I understand why some may not.

Pros
So many amazing opportunities with this company, and amazing co workers to go along with it. If you are looking for a job working with passionate individuals, this is it.

What cons? Honestly though, the only con for me is the drive to work, but even then we do have the option to work from home!
