Avoid if you can

Pros

The only real benefit is the option to work abroad for 90 days—assuming your manager actually approves it.

Cons

A culture of nepotism, intentional overwork of high performers, incompetent middle management, and a whole lot of corporate nonsense. It’s especially toxic in the business marketing department—so if you're considering a role there, do yourself a favour and don’t. Employees are consistently expected to go above and beyond for very little reward, while certain managers are quick to take credit for your work to advance their own careers. There’s a strong culture of senior leadership hiring their friends, and if you speak out, you may find yourself quietly pushed out. I wouldn’t recommend it—you’ll likely need therapy for a long period of time to recover. There’s a reason why so many people are leaving Wise these days—and why burnout is almost a rite of passage. It’s simply not worth having on your CV. Overall, it’s clear the growth stage is long over, and competitors have already pulled far ahead.
