Pros

- You can work in independent and autonomous teams - Flat structure, no middle managers - Great people, talented team - Cultural diversity - Low bureaucracy, much like a startup - Great tech - microservices, Spring Boot, continuous delivery, extensive automated testing (there are 0 QA people, but 100+ engineers)

Cons

- Some legacy code in the monolithic application (Groovy & Grails) - A lot of in-house infrastructure (servers, database hardware etc) - Very high expectations on you so the job can get a bit stressful :)

Pros

- The mission. It's great to do something that has a bigger meaning. We are all here to change the world of finance. - The team. We are inspired by working in a united, caring and multicultural team. Wisers are massively talented and motivated, not to mention some of the friendliest and kindest people you will meet. - The freedom & trust. In TransferWise I have a lot of freedom in my work. My lead isn't telling me what I should work on, but he is there for me when I want to bounce ideas and supports me when I need it. Sometimes this freedom & responsibility is scary, but it helps me to grow. - Personal growth. During my TransferWise journey (more than three years) I have worked on so many different topics and learned a lot while doing it. As we grow so fast, we have all the time new challenges coming up, and I have crossed my comfort zone limits so many times. - Great vibe. The overall atmosphere is very relaxed and non-stressful but still professional. We also have super cool offices & healthy breakfast

Cons

- As our teams are autonomous, there can be problems with communications and it has happened that two teams are working on similar things - Having so much freedom and responsibility can be overwhelming. You need to pay a lot of attention to your well-being. - As there are some many interesting challenges, it's hard to stay focused
