Pros

The opportunity to use the tool that you are selling is great and because the whole company is on Wrike, email is hardly used except for when communicating outside of Wrike. CSO org is great

Cons

Don't join the marketing team here. People stay for about a year and then leave, it is a constant revolving door. They can't hire fast enough, so everyone is over-worked, constant fire drills, last-minute planning, last minute requests, and decisions that take forever and delay your projects. They will burn you out, stress you out and then tell you "it's the job". The Marketing Operations team is primarily in EMEA and will delay your projects. They don't know how to measure lead scoring, MQLs or even regular email campaigns. It's great that they use Wrike instead of email, but no one updates statuses or tags you correctly, then they get mad when you don't reply. Wrike can't even use their own tool correctly. The "CEO" is terrible. His "motivational" speeches are telling the whole company that we are at war... Keep in mind this company has a huge office in Russia.... and then 2 months later Russia invades Ukraine... No sentiments or statements on how we support Ukraine, radio silence... No opportunities for growth, 2% raises

Pros

Supportive Management: Leadership is approachable, transparent, and genuinely invested in employee growth and success. Regular feedback and open communication foster a positive work environment. Collaborative Team: The team culture is highly collaborative, with colleagues who are both talented and willing to help. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie and shared purpose. Positive Workplace Culture: Wrike promotes a culture of inclusivity, innovation, and continuous improvement. Employee well-being and engagement are clearly prioritized. Industry-Leading Product: The product itself is robust, flexible, and consistently evolving to meet customer needs. It’s rewarding to represent a solution that delivers real value to clients.

Cons

Structured Oversight: At times, there is a high level of oversight and process adherence, which can limit autonomy in decision-making. While this ensures consistency, it may occasionally slow down innovation or responsiveness. Limited Training on Procurement Processes: There is a noticeable gap in training related to the procurement process, which can create challenges during customer renewals. Enhanced resources and clearer guidance in this area would help streamline operations and improve the overall customer experience.

Pros

Strengthen transparency and consistency in communication, particularly around job security and performance expectations

Cons

I was at the company for a year and only met my department executive once. There’s basically zero communication between departments, and that disconnect slows everything down, especially between marketing and sales, and it’s why the company will never be on the same level as other project management platforms. The lack of accountability and communication at the top just turns into laziness across the whole company. They’re way too focused on AI, and I honestly don’t think they’ll be able to use it effectively before they’re forced to sell to private equity. There is one executive in the GTM department who is extremely controlling and unprofessional everyone says it, and multiple people have had to leave the department or switch even leave the company because of him. People get dragged into projects that have nothing to do with their job, and executives have admitted they’re replacing U.S. employees with cheaper international hires. If they keep doing this, cutting employees and relying on AI, the company is only going to keep declining.
