Pros

Initially, what drew me to Wanderu was the mission. Polina and Igor had identified a gap in the travel industry, and there was huge potential to innovate and create some interesting solutions. I was also drawn to the company's work environment. It fosters fast decision making without the need for long approval chains, and places strong emphasis on user-centered design. My experience at Wanderu has been transformative. I’ve been able to grow not only as a designer, but also as a leader. It has been, and continues to be, a valuable learning experience in my career. I’m proud to collaborate with our powerful team of talented entrepreneurs and engineers. At Wanderu everyone has a voice, and good ideas are heard and supported. I’m very excited to see what’s next for our Wanderu family. Big things to come!

Cons

Because we are a small team, we have to be extra smart/careful about prioritization. So sometimes certain projects have to sit on the back-burner for a while until it makes sense to pick them up.

Pros

Wanderu has a great remote work environment that follows agile practices and always encourages their employees to feel empowered. In my time working here, I’ve always felt heard and my work has brought value to the company. I will recommend working here to anyone but especially to those who have passion for working in the bus and train industry.

Cons

Working in a small company, there is always going to be more work than can get done. Wanderu is no exception to this. However, they always push to take advantage of the unlimited PTO to prevent burn out.

Pros

You can work from home if you are employed by Wanderu. The whole team embraces diversity, doesn't hesitate to be who they are, and values their customers. Despite the drawbacks, it was an experience that I needed and helped shape who I am now.

Cons

They seldom give their employees the time they need during training. Throughout the initial week of their employment, they anticipate that they will perform flawlessly in every way. Teamwork isn't something they genuinely cherish. Unlike my current startup position, I hardly felt supported while I worked here. The hiring manager also lacks great accountability for miscommunication, which happens often.
