Pros

Unlimited PTO that you will have to give back by working on the weekends and over 11 hours a day.

Cons

Unfortunately, wrike is like a piece of plastic: it looks shiny and great from the outside but when you look closer to it, you can see it's cheap. Their moto should be: "why making it simple?? when it can be complicated!" Most of the nice reviews you are reading here, are written by new hires, because HR is asking during the first month of the onboarding process to write a review on glassdoor, so of course since you've just been hired, you will write something nice! My experience working there was horrible: I've worked with rude, disrespectful and mean people, like I've never had before! you are pressured and under high stress. I've been more than nice to this company and they treated me like trash. There are a lot of jobs available right now and you can see wrike is hiring a lot, why? because a lot of people are leaving this company. I had ex co workers reaching out to me recently asking me about wrike and I told them to not apply there, that they would regret it.

We are sorry to hear you did not get the Wrike experience that we strive to give all of our employees. That said, there are a few areas that you mentioned where we would like to clarify. We offer all of our US employees an unlimited PTO policy so they can take time for rest and recovery when it is needed most. All of our sales team members are encouraged to work a regular 40-hour work week, and to limit any overtime unless it is absolutely necessary. Sales reps may choose to put in extra hours in order to maximize earnings against Wrike’s generous compensation plan, but weekend work is never required and is not part of our culture. Our mission is “do the best work of your life” and we are helping people all over the world do just that so they can get back to what matters most to them. In addition to our open PTO policy, we are also known for our incredible people, who truly are what makes Wrike a great place to work. While it’s uncommon to hear feedback such as yours, we regularly run 360 evaluations on all of our leaders, which allows team members a forum to provide direct and anonymous feedback to managers, who are then held accountable for implementing an action plan based on said feedback. If you wish to further discuss your concerns or provide suggestions you can reach out to us at hr-us@team.wrike.com.

Pros

Supportive Management: Leadership is approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in employee growth and success. Regular feedback and open communication foster a positive work environment. Collaborative Team: The team culture is highly collaborative, with colleagues who are both talented and willing to help. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Positive Workplace Culture: Wrike promotes a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and continuous improvement. Employee well-being and engagement are clearly prioritized. Industry-Leading Product: The product itself is robust, flexible, and consistently evolving to meet customer needs. It’s rewarding to represent a solution that delivers real value to clients.

Cons

Structured Oversight: At times, there is a high level of oversight and process adherence, which can limit autonomy in decision-making. While this ensures consistency, it may occasionally slow down innovation or responsiveness. Limited Training on Procurement Processes: There is a noticeable gap in training related to the procurement process, which can create challenges during customer renewals. Enhanced resources and clearer guidance in this area would help streamline operations and improve the overall customer experience.

We’re very happy to hear your positive experience with supportive leadership, collaborative teams, our culture, and the product itself. We also appreciate your input on the level of oversight and the need for more training around procurement.

Pros

Strengthen transparency and consistency in communication, particularly around job security and performance expectations

Cons

I was at the company for a year and only met my department executive once. There’s basically zero communication between departments, and that disconnect slows everything down, especially between marketing and sales, and it’s why the company will never be on the same level as other project management platforms. The lack of accountability and communication at the top just turns into laziness across the whole company. They’re way too focused on AI, and I honestly don’t think they’ll be able to use it effectively before they’re forced to sell to private equity. There is one executive in the GTM department who is extremely controlling and unprofessional everyone says it, and multiple people have had to leave the department or switch even leave the company because of him. People get dragged into projects that have nothing to do with their job, and executives have admitted they’re replacing U.S. employees with cheaper international hires. If they keep doing this, cutting employees and relying on AI, the company is only going to keep declining.
