Top Place to Work - Finance Executive Wiser Employee Review

Their vision of changing the way people think about work has really landed for me. Before joining Wiser, I honestly saw work as something you just had to push through - a grind, something separate from real life. Now I see it as a place where you can grow, feel supported, and actually enjoy the day-to-day. It took me out of the survival mode I think a lot of people fall into living in a busy city like London. That shift has been huge for me. I worked in the ops team managing the podcast studio, and the atmosphere was consistently uplifting. The people are bright, funny, supportive, and bring a naturally good energy into the office. It’s one of the first places I’ve worked where the culture isn’t just a buzzword and it genuinely shows up in how people treat each other. The office had a flexible dog policy system, which made a massive difference for me. I could bring my pup into the office when I needed to, and everyone genuinely loved having dogs around. It added to the warm, human feel of the place and made coming in even more enjoyable. On a personal level, I felt really supported. When I started thinking about taking a different direction in my life, the founder was there for me - encouraging me, helping me think things through, and supporting me while I figured out my next step. That kind of openness and care is rare, and it meant a lot.

I’m pretty surprised to read some of the negative reviews. Work will never be perfect anywhere, but I genuinely haven’t had one experience that felt off or jarring - which is a big contrast to previous roles I’ve had.

An okay place to start your career if you’ve never worked anywhere else and have nothing to compare it to.

No HR, massively underpayed, constant surveillance from senior management, toxic environment created by individuals with overinflated job titles who have worked at Wiser since its inception.
