Pros

I’ve been with Wave for six months and couldn’t be happier. The company has a great mission, fantastic products, and an amazing team. There’s real autonomy and independence to manage your schedule, a focus on objectives rather than hours, and a culture of transparency with no office politics.

Cons

There's nothing negative to say.
