Pros

Honestly, I am so glad that I was able to be a part of the Wiser Academy the past year. In a time where I was isolated from my friends due to the pandemic, and finishing my college experience from my home, I was lucky to have met a network of amazing motivated people who I am lucky to call my friends. Working with the Wiser Academy afforded me opportunities that I would not have thought I could have down before - like meeting CEO's of successful and important companies, and hosting webinars to hundreds of people. There is a very open atmosphere that exists at Wiser - everyone is so friendly and lives by the wiser values. I don' think I've gotten to know so many employees so quickly at any job before! Really opened my mind to how working in the recruitment industry can have such a positive impact on how we think about work! Also, so much support came from everyone - but especially the Academy Team! Saskia and Jodie are 2 shining stars who have done trojan work over my time here! Such a positive experience.

Cons

Everything being online - more of a consequence of the pandemic, but I think everyone struggled to find their feet at first.

Pros

Amazing office, great snacks and general vibes. Lots of young people. You will learn a lot, quality of work is high and everyone works hard.

Cons

Very competitive spirit, feels like a jungle. New hires either get with the program or you won't feel very good working here. Toxic culture...

Pros

Their vision of changing the way people think about work has really landed for me. Before joining Wiser, I honestly saw work as something you just had to push through - a grind, something separate from real life. Now I see it as a place where you can grow, feel supported, and actually enjoy the day-to-day. It took me out of the survival mode I think a lot of people fall into living in a busy city like London. That shift has been huge for me. I worked in the ops team managing the podcast studio, and the atmosphere was consistently uplifting. The people are bright, funny, supportive, and bring a naturally good energy into the office. It’s one of the first places I’ve worked where the culture isn’t just a buzzword and it genuinely shows up in how people treat each other. The office had a flexible dog policy system, which made a massive difference for me. I could bring my pup into the office when I needed to, and everyone genuinely loved having dogs around. It added to the warm, human feel of the place and made coming in even more enjoyable. On a personal level, I felt really supported. When I started thinking about taking a different direction in my life, the founder was there for me - encouraging me, helping me think things through, and supporting me while I figured out my next step. That kind of openness and care is rare, and it meant a lot.

Cons

I’m pretty surprised to read some of the negative reviews. Work will never be perfect anywhere, but I genuinely haven’t had one experience that felt off or jarring - which is a big contrast to previous roles I’ve had.
