Wiser Company Employer Reviews

I would only recommend this company to individuals seeking entry level work and looking to gain one two years of experience after college. My advice anyone with prior work experience or advanced degrees in the geospatial field would be to seek employment with this company as a last resort.
The bottom line is that working for Wiser is the equivalent – more...  to working for a technical staffing agency and should be treated as a temporary job. If you like digitizing and doing other low level, temporary work, then Wiser is the place for you. – less

I was hired out of college, a lot of cool people worked there... but only the low level employees.

Most of the upper management is incompetent and tries to blame the issues with the company on the lower management who then turn around and blame the production staff.

Since the beginning of 2011 more than 30% of the employees have been laid off or fired – more...  with no warning.

Absolutely no job security. – less

You will be used by management and then left out to dry when the contract dries up. They demand uncompensated responsibility to complete the tasks and then, when the contract approaches the final months, there are always massive layoffs. If you are a new hire, you have no future there. They are renowned for hiring people straight out of college for – more...  very cheap, and maybe 1.5 to 2 years later, laying you off to hire the next batch of youngsters. You have to have a talent for becoming good buddies with the right people to stay on. Management is simple-minded. The work is repetitive, simple, and boring. Trying to stay awake the whole day is the most challenging part of the job. – less
