      Challenging, empowering, awesome place to work

      Pros

      I moved from a big corporate to work at TransferWise. It has been an incredible experience. Some specific examples: - Complete decision making autonomy within your area of responsibility. An end to time wasted getting "buy-in", or writing committee papers. - Pace of progress is stunning. Every week you see incredible changes and your own impact being brought to life. Your time at work = improvements to the life of customers. - Start-up vibe. No more suits and sucking up. Hello table tennis, cool freebies, and fun atmosphere in the office.

      Cons

      Growing so fast there is a risk that the culture will change for the worse over the year ahead. I'm optimistic that it will not, but this will need strong vigilance and action from leadership.

      Challenging myself, making an impact, having fun

      Pros

      There's no limit to what you can do - nobody will tell you X or Y is none of your business if you can contribute. Everyone here cares about our mission so you can trust people to be friendly and motivated. If people enjoy spending time with one another, work becomes something you enjoy. This also means that people call each other out and nobody gets a free ride.

      Cons

      It's a startup. The roles are not rigid and you often have to figure out yourself what you need to do. This is something many people don't enjoy. The only thing really constant at a company like this is change so there's no way to sit back and enjoy the show.

      Lots of ownership, moves fast

      Pros

      Flat organization, autonomous teams means everyone has tons of ownership. A lot of interesting projects to work on, only constrained by how quickly we can hire. People are direct and honest when giving feedback.

      Cons

      Starting to "grow up" and add more layers. Compensation is below average/market.
