Pros

The company is working on something innovative and motivating, especially in the current geopolitical landscape. The problems we tackle in the engineering department are stimulating, it's not just another e-commerce/ads company.

Cons

The company had market related ups and downs in the many years I worked there, especially pre and immediately after Covid-19. There has been some hard years when we had to let go of some people due to restructuring, and two CEOs were replaced in a short time. The situation is different now, but of course it has affected those that lost their job in that time.

Pros

Pay is OK. Berlin has tons of startups.

Cons

From 2022-2024, went through 4 CEOs, 5 CROs, 3 CFOs, 2 HR heads. Each one and each combination had a different way to run the company. No common end goal.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for the years you spent at Wire. The period you mention was a phase of significant change for the company. Building and positioning a technology company in a complex space like secure collaboration often requires adjustments along the way. While that can feel challenging internally, these phases are also an important part of building a stronger foundation for the future. We appreciate your contribution during that time and wish you all the best going forward.
