Wix reviews about "colleague"

Managers are useless and have favourites

1. Despite promoting a "No Jerks" policy, certain individuals — including some managers — are allowed to act unprofessionally without facing any real consequences. This behavior is often accepted, or worse, normalized. 2. Office politics are extremely heavy. Getting support for cross-team work often feels more like diplomacy than collaboration, consuming far too much time and energy. 3. Things move slowly. Tasks that would take hours in most companies can easily stretch into days or weeks. 4. There are managers who lack experience and leadership skills, which can cause serious damage to team morale and productivity. 5. There's significant resistance to adopting modern technologies — often rooted in personal job security fears rather than strategic thinking. 6. Salaries are generally below industry standards, especially for roles in R&D.

Career growth opportunities are very limited, focused on QA, TL, or PSG roles. The focus is shifting more toward the quantity of live interactions rather than the quality. We’re constantly being told to take more calls and chats, which makes it harder to focus on delivering the best customer experience. While the perks are strong, salaries don’t seem to progress. Some people have been stuck with the same salaries for years without salary reviews. Learning & Development could take a more proactive role in helping people build skills and grow, rather than mainly assigning experts to tasks.

Heavily depends on management you got

Very poor managers, the management model at wix is just not working. Many colleagues including myself left the company because of toxic and sometimes even brutal team leaders. Many team leaders are promoted based on technical achievements and lack strength in other fields. Many of my colleagues were frustrated by the combination of tc compared to other companies, poor management and a very intense workload.

Being tagged or contacted late at night (e.g., 11 PM–midnight) on non-urgent issues (work life balance)

The company is not as transparent as it claims to be. Career growth is very limited, even for those who perform well, and advancement often depends more on favoritism than merit. Additionally, the company openly supports the state military, which I find very concerning.

Low compensation compared to the market
