Pros

The ONLY pro to this position was my coworkers. I loved them so much and we got along great as a team.

Cons

PLEASE BE CAREFUL. This is my personal experience: From the start, during Wise training, the company emphasizes that you will be lost, confused and freak out your first year of working there. This is very true. The reason this is true is due to the extreme amount of change and updates constantly happened in protocols/guidelines for CS to abide by. Aside from that, the Social Media ATX team was brand new when I started. The Team Lead (your boss) started at the same time with all of us. She does not know how to be a team leader and is not someone you can rely on for questions being answered or for accountability when it comes to scheduling one on one meetings. Your first 3 months out of training is considered “probation” this means you’ll be monitored and expected to meet a very unattainable set of metrics. Not kidding no one on our team was meeting all metrics during this time. My personal experience during probation had me extremely stressed and afraid I’d be losing my job the next week or so if I didn’t perform well. I brought this up with my Team Lead in our one on one meetings that if there’s anything I’m not doing or ever a chance I could be let go to please give me a warning so I can prepare. She emphasized she thought I was fine I was showing improvements each week and she didn’t think I had to worry. So I kept working hard and eventually passed my probation period. Fast forward a month later, my metrics were the best they’ve ever been (I was meeting 2/3) and my only meeting since with her was when she told me I was doing great and passed probation. I get called into a random meeting with her and HR and she states I’m being let go due to “performance and out of queue time” Never once was I told I was ever being considered that this was an option, never once did she mention I was ever out of queue or not being productive. I was feeling confident again with my position and thought I was doing well but apparently not according to her. As mentioned in my Pros, I loved my coworkers. We all were in it together and we all were trying our best to learn and get through the changes together. The lack of miscommunication and stress levels are insane with this company. This position should not cause people to go to HR and the people’s team for mental health visits within 3 months time of being there.

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.
