What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Wise?
What People Are Saying About Wise
-
Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Hybrid-by-default with team-set norms and the option to work from (almost) anywhere for up to 90 days per year after the first six months. Guidance to use the “most appropriate place” for coaching, onboarding, and collaboration supports practical flexibility across weeks and cycles.
-
Time Off Access: A global minimum of 33 paid days off (U.S. pages cite 36) plus three “Me Days” each year is clearly outlined. Generous parental leave regardless of gender further expands accessible time away.
-
Recovery Time: A paid sabbatical after four years with a stipend and explicit recharge programs provide structured opportunities to disconnect and reset. A 24/7 Employee Assistance Program complements time away with ongoing support.
