Pluspunten

- It has a ping-pong table - Middle management is very driven to make something out of this company

Minpunten

Most toxic company culture I have ever witnessed. Here are some examples: - Founder being bullied out of his own company. - Board members writing childish complaints into official announcement channels and trying to reclaim company dominance by hiring puppets to destroy company culture - Banning anonymous company feedback (it's a secure messaging app) - Offering shady termination contracts to former employees who then sought legal advice (and won) - Overworking current engineers while cutting their holidays, and raising our taxes - Never getting a raise because it's "not the right time' - Dishonest communication from C level - Fake Hybrid, no incentives at all.

Pluspunten

Pay is OK. Berlin has tons of startups.

Minpunten

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.
