Pros
- Character is placed at a higher priority than experience. People with a positive attitude and a genuine desire to contribute to something greater than themselves are hired over others that perhaps have more experience or skill but aren't interested in team, helping customers or learning new things. - Because only trustworthy people are brought on board, employees are afforded lots of freedom and autonomy over their schedules and work places. - Lovely, bright offices with lots of happy, kind people - Lots of internal hiring and chances to move to different teams. In many cases, it's better for the company to teach a seasoned TransferWise employee a new skill than to teach a new hire with lots of skill everything that is TransferWise (not an easy or short task). - There isn't really a management hierarchy, but TransferWise 'team leads' are the best 'managers' a person could ask for - always trusting, helpful, flexible and fair. They want what's best for you.
Cons
- Intense. Lots and lots to learn and very challenging work. Can be overwhelming and/or exhausting. - Could be considered a 'Pro', but lots of shift work. Often times it's necessary to work evenings/nights/weekends or early in the morning. This being said, it's usually possible to mold your schedule around your preferences.
