Pros

Good pay and affordable benefits

Cons

- As a customer service associate, you field a lot of calls for a large variety of esoteric issues - QA does not "help" - only 5 cases are graded a week and if you get a critical error on 1 - you are not meeting KPI - You work hundreds of cases a week and only 5 are graded - The training did not prepare me for my job at all, and I am a very capable and knowledgeable person - There was a lack of comradery - This work could and should be done remotely but they seem to insist on a Hybrid model - Getting terminated for not meeting KPI metrics or getting put on a Performance Improvement Plan happens to a lot of people in the CS role and thus it is a revolving door.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for sharing your feedback - we'll make sure we pass this on to the relevant teams. We're truly sorry to hear that you didn’t have a good experience at Wise, particularly around the QA process for agents. At Wise, we believe in building a culture of continuous growth and learning. It starts with our onboarding process. Everyone attends our company onboarding program, followed by function specific onboarding and training. We regularly revise and iterate these programs based on feedback and best practice to ensure they are designed to support Wisers to perform their roles successfully. Our goal is to help our customers as quickly as possible when they need assistance and setting KPIs helps ensure we’re able to meet this goal and identify gaps where we may need to invest in the future. Implementing KPIs aims to provide clear expectations and support, helping team members align their efforts with our overall goals. We believe that a well-structured performance management framework not only aids individual growth but also enhances teamwork and collaboration. These KPIs are designed to not be burdensome but to guide and support, paving the way for personal development and improved outcomes. For our QA team, these metrics are crucial in ensuring we consistently deliver top-notch service, ultimately enhancing our customers' experiences and mitigating risk. We're committed to refining these processes and welcome further discussion to ensure they serve everyone effectively. I do hope you were able to pass on your feedback before you left. If you're up for sharing more, we’d be keen to understand more about your experiences so that we can improve this for Wisers in the future.

Pros

Mission-Driven Work: Wise’s mission of "money without borders" aligned perfectly with my personal values. I was genuinely excited to go to work every day, tackle challenges, and track our progress toward that goal. Exceptional Peer Group: The hiring bar is high; you’ll work with smart, diverse, and genuinely interesting people from all backgrounds. Cutting-Edge Product: Working on the Wise Platform is a great technical experience. As an Implementation Manager, you get excellent visibility and access to the Product and Engineering teams. Top-Tier Documentation: Internal enablement and documentation are highly organized, making it easy to self-serve and find answers quickly.

Cons

Lack of Transparency in Management: I received no negative feedback during my probation period, only to be placed on a PIP two weeks after it ended. The feedback loop is non-existent; instead of real-time coaching, minor oversights are "saved up" to justify disciplinary action. Poor Feedback Quality: The PIP I received felt AI-generated, filled with corporate jargon and lacking substantive examples of performance failure. It felt like a formality rather than a genuine attempt at development. Toxic Management Culture: There is a palpable sense of micromanagement and "back-stabbing" within certain leadership circles. The environment shifted from collaborative to manipulative, with a noticeable lack of directness and honesty. Growth Hurdles: The Sales team appears to be struggling to close deals, which impacts the overall momentum of the department.
