Lack of trust and poor culture impact experience - Anonymous employee Wio(UAE) Employee Review

Great place to work Supportive Challenge Great leadership Innovative

Nothing as such . . . .

Nothing at all, cannot see anything good.

I joined Wio Bank with high expectations given the buzz around it, but left deeply disappointed by the internal culture. The core issue is leadership — or the lack of it. Senior management operates in a top-down, command-and-control style that leaves little room for collaboration, feedback, or psychological safety. Employees are expected to execute orders without question. Ideas from the ground up are discouraged, which is counterproductive for a company that positions itself as innovative. What made it worse was witnessing unprofessional behavior from the very top. Raising one’s voice at employees in shared spaces is not leadership — it’s intimidation, and it sets the tone for the entire organization. The people working there are not the problem. Many are talented individuals genuinely trying to build something meaningful. The problem is that they are given no real direction, no empowerment, and no safe space to contribute. For a company trying to disrupt banking, it ironically runs like a rigid, outdated institution from the inside. All of this clearly visible due to a large number of strong professionals leaving the company, some without even having another option in the market.
