Wix Reviews

Pros

Easy to take PTO. Decent Food Benefits. Good Health Insurance.

Cons

Austin office all hired at vastly disparate rates even after raises. 17-22 dollars with no rhyme or reason for why the disparity. Bonuses tied to surveys despite this being possibly affected by which department you are in, billing/payment wont get bonuses due to dealing with more potential upset customers. Goals constantly being changed and responsibilities added with no real training or compensation. Many forced into "supervisory" roles for de-escalation of customers with little training and no additional compensation. Movement within company not compensated either.

Pros

-My TL is fantastic -My teammates are fantastic -My opportunities to engage myself in further activities have always been present -Benefits are great -Lunch benefit is good -The opportunity to help people grow their businesses is the kicker here -I don't hate my job. This is the biggest benefit to me, I enjoy what I do and do not dread coming in to work every day.

Cons

-The pay is lagging so far behind it's making it hard to justify the pros, good talent is being headhunted away by other companies solely on a compensation basis. Attrition is very high and it's not because the job isn't great, I love what I do, I don't love not being paid for it

Pros

Wix is an amazing company that places a massive emphasis on the happiness and autonomy of its employees. The Miami office is amazing and the work perks are trend-setting. Strong leadership and great advancement opportunities.

Cons

The org structure can cause unintended silos between teams which can stunt collaboration and wider recognition. The company is lagging in compensation compared to other companies at a similar level.

Pros

Wix was my first full-time office job. I was with the company for 4 years, and I do not regret a day that I spent with them. I've made plenty of friends, met wonderful people, and worked with a ton of intelligent people. Being in the SF office is refreshing. You are surrounded by some of the most genuine people and form a bond that is irreplaceable. My team was one of the smallest which only allowed us to work better together. Management in my department was very hands-off and only ever wanted to see you succeed. As the company grew, my team grew, which opened up plenty of opportunities for me. Almost too many that I couldn't decide which direction to go. Overall, you get what you make out of it.

Cons

As I mentioned in the Pros list, the company is vastly growing which from the business aspect is a great thing, however, the culture that was much loved has started to fade. The company became more "corporate" and it seemed all that was valued diminished. As an employee, the culture is what kept me and once I couldn't feel its presence I became lost. Wix was going in a different direction and if you can't adjust quickly enough, you can be easily replaced. No hard feelings though, Wix will always have a special place in my heart - "Que Será, Será"

Pros

Nice co-workers, get a food stipend each week which is helpful, send you cool gear

Cons

No pay increase unless they decide you “deserve” it, so you can move up multiple positions with no raise in sight. You go from entry level support to “expert” without warning (“additional” training = higher/harder role no pay change) and the work you are expected to do is drastically different and more demanding. Your “reviews” from callers and the amount you do eventually becomes judged even though they claim it’s quality over quantity. If you are more conservative politically then you need to know you have to attend LBGTQ+. BLM, and other left side leaning zoom seminars and are encouraged to do things like change your zoom background to things that support those types of movements and it is clear that if you are right side then you need to keep that to yourself. There is horrible communication from top down, the team leader says you have certain expectations and then the next day it can be completely flipped and even the TL doesn’t understand what we are supposed to do next. Cannot move to a new role until minimum a year in the company even if they are just sitting open. Cannot choose a specific area even though they will ask who wants to.

Pros

Great product, innovation, customer support for SMEs.

Cons

C-Suite does not understand SaaS Enterprise/Partner Sales. They have changed the entire SaaS Partner Sales Team Comp Structure 3 times in 12 months to continually improve Wix's bottom-line, at the detriment of their most experienced Partner Sellers. Compensation structure has gone from industry standard of 5x OTE, to 10X OTE to now 20-30X OTE, all while tripling/quadrupling quota requirements. If you are being recruited for a Partner or Enterprise Sales role, ensure you receive, review and understand the Compensation plan in advance. And expect management to revamp and reduce your all-in comp each subsequent year, regardless if you outperform.

Pros

Great company to work for, lots of perks and the potential for a great work life balance if you’re not in new business sales. Lots of innovative young people who care about the company’s success.

Cons

No work life balance if you are in new business sales, taking even 1 or 2 days off sets you back immensely in your month. Unattainable expectations and goals for essentially B2C sales rather than B2B sales. There’s a cap on commission, and management still expects you to perform more if cap is met even though there is no additional pay. There is also NO pay if you do not surpass more than half of the goal by end of month, regardless of all the outreach efforts and held meetings throughout the month. Expect your pipeline as an AE to have WELL over 10k prospects with zero measures set in place for easy organization and management

Pros

Wix has pretty good benefits

Cons

I worked for DeviantArt for four years. I started just before Wix took over. After Wix acquired DeviantArt, I witnessed or heard about multiple cases of extreme racism by some of the Israeli employees. For example, while in Los Angeles for a company event, an Israeli employee told a story discussing his online Ancestry report results; he said there was 1% African. The employee exclaimed that he had the blood of a racial slur. There were Israeli employees present who laughed at the story. I witnessed the same Israeli employee make fun of an eastern European employee's accent on a separate occasion. We were all sitting together in a small room; the Israeli employees wouldn't even talk to the European employee. The Israeli employees would then make comments under their breath and laugh. They were overheard calling him Borat clearly because of his accent, just apparent hatred. At this point, this was a pattern and not an isolated event. It was clear that the Israeli employees had a culture of this. After reporting the incident, we expected a call from HR to follow and investigate; instead, we were told they conducted sensitivity training with the Israeli office. To this day, I don't believe any such "sensitivity training" happened; HR did the bare minimum. I witnessed people get fired for much less. These events seemed like firable offenses; I don't believe the Israeli employees involved received any declinatory action—clear cases of biases and preferential treatment. There are very few black employees in the company. Israeli and white employees receive more for doing much less than the black employees. Black employees with more experience are often put below white or Israeli employees with much less experience. Black employees would have to beg for raises, while promotions were handed to white and Israeli employees like candy, even though black employees work just as hard, if not harder. There are no formal reviews. The executives tell you that if you want to get a promotion, you need to start doing the higher-level work to show them that you can do it. In reality, you will work well outside your pay grade, and you may never get a promotion or a raise. The executives will tell you that that's just the Wix way. Wix, do better!!
