Our Take
We have been Wise customers for years and have always had a great experience. We love their transparent approach in everything they do, from showing the correct exchange rates to disclosing all their fees, and even being honest about how they work. Founded in 2010 in London, Wise is now a publicly traded company operating in over 160 countries, generating 1.2+ billion pounds in revenue (2025) and is highly profitable. What we especially love at Wise is their work from anywhere policy after 6 months: Basically you can remotely work from (almost) anywhere in the world for up to 90 days a year. As they are solving a massive problem and are strongly mission-driven, we are sure that any individual passionate about working on complex, impactful problems in sending money globally efficiently, while continuing to work on the much-loved Wise solutions, will love working there.

Problem They Solve

In numbers, this is an over-32-trillion-pounds-per-year problem that Wise is actively tackling. Today, Wise has less than 1% of this addressable market, leaving plenty of room to solve this problem.
Who their customers are
Wise serves over 16 million active customers worldwide. What is remarkable is that over 70% of their customers come directly through word of mouth in 2025, which is an incredible sign that their product is truly loved and actively recommended by customers.

What Employees Say
"Wise is a great Company, with a great culture and great transparency. It lives up to the mission of fast, cheap, high-quality currency transfers; I personally like the good vibes here with a lot of passion."
Leadership
A very promising sign: Wise has been under the leadership of its Founder and current CEO, Kristo Käärmann, since 2011. This shows that Kristo still believes in Wise's future and wants to continue actively building the global money network and not move on to another company or opportunity. The leadership team focuses heavily on empowering all teams to be flexible and make autonomous decisions to solve the most urgent and relevant problems they see for Wise’s customers.
Founder-led?
Yes, this company is still led by its founder(s).
Do I Feel Safe at Work?
Wise seems to have nailed psychological safety at work, empowering their colleagues (also known as Wisers) to make autonomous decisions and take ownership of how they work best. They do have a company-wide principle, but each team can adjust their own guidelines. Yet what is great is that Wise focuses heavily on a culture of lived feedback, which is also often mentioned in employee reviews.
Work Reality
Onboarding
According to Wise, you do not just join a company but a mission. Wise views onboarding as a continuous process in opposition to a singular event, and so have developed a comprehensive onboarding program, which includes a self-onboarding to build a solid foundation and further resources to develop yourself. Wise expects its new joiners to be in the office for the first six months to network, learn more quickly, and better understand the Wise culture. After these 6 months, you are open to flexible work arrangements.

Communication Style
As Wise values giving teams flexibility and prefers quick, clear communication, you can expect to use Slack, video meetings, and their famous bi-annual mission days, where all employees can connect worldwide.

Promotions
They have regular performance reviews, yet according to multiple Glassdoor reviews, Wise has room to improve its promotion process.
