Pros

Just few benefits above the law, nothing more. Now with the new labor law approved by Mexican congress, their vacation benefits are just bare minimum according to this law. Used to have good pay, not anymore as compared to other companies now.

Cons

During my tenure there I could see how the Wizeline culture died day by day, due to nepotism that spread like wild fire in recent years. There were many hires in top positions that didn't share the values of the companies and imposed their bad practices, like an Indian guy they hired as CFO, which also hired several of his Indian pals to other top positions in Finance department, many with no idea what to do or how to handle the kind of business Wizeline was, and at the end that Indian CFO left the company and left his Indian pals there with the same bad management practices. Some other hires like COO/Delivery coming from HP, she hired as well several of her pals from HP in also top positions for Operations and Delivery teams, and wreak havoc to the culture of the company, as those people also hired their pals as well, with a very lousy performance, which at the end were fired but the persons that hired them in the first place are still in the Executive team with no consequences to them. Delivery teams like Project Management leadership has also nepotism practices and are putting their friends from outside the company in positions of leadership, disregarding the internal talent that has years in the company and deserved those leadership roles better, being ignored. All this while the CEO ignores (or he knows but doesn't care) the destruction of his company's culture which has been rotten from within. Now, the CEO has decided out of the blue to end Home Office and mandated everyone to the be in the office 3 days by week, (even sending a FAQ letter saying explicitly "mandatory") but after the huge backlash from employees and social media, he now is saying "oh, you misunderstood me, it was more as a guideline rather than mandatory". Right, if that were the case, you wouldn't have sent the word "MANDATORY" in your first company-wide communication in the first place. Ever since the acquire of Wizeline by CDPQ (a Canadian company) , Wizeline only cares for profit now with the board and the internal CBO putting very unrealistic goals each quarter, pushing people beyond the reality of the market. So if you're coming to join Sales team, think twice as you'll be whip-lashed HARD to reach those unrealistic numbers. And if you come as Developer, be sure to come to an ensured customer project because if you fall in the bench, 2 weeks without work and you're fired. Also, fired people don't get any notice, they just disconnect their Slack account and all access to company's accounts and apps and they're fired from one day to the next. No, there's no warning, no PIP plan they need to follow, nothing. Just fired the same day, no notice, that's it, which is highly unethical and lack of empty to the employee. Overall, Wizeline used to be a nice place to work, now is a lair of nepotism and has lose all their "Silicon Valley" mojo, being one now just another one of those other latin american consultancies with the same bad management and practices.

Pros

For the most part, I had a good experience at Wizeline. The experience depends heavily on the client you are assigned to, but I was fortunate to work with great people and had a lot of fun, especially during my first few years at the company.

Cons

I believe that offering benefits beyond what is legally required reflects a company’s culture and the value it places on its employees. When my contract was terminated (after seven years ), no severance was offered, as this is not legally required in the U.S. This led me to reflect on how other non-mandated benefits are handled; for example, paid maternity leave is also not legally required, which raised questions for me about whether it would be supported if needed.
