I worked for Wirecard in ~2017. Now that the company is no more I guess I'm free to talk about it. Wirecard is without a doubt the worst company I worked for.

Wirecard is without a doubt the worst company I worked for. Nevermind the legacy ball of mud, the whole work environment was toxic. Blaming, finger pointing, sexist and racist remarks weren't rare. This is the only company where I've seen people screaming out of their lungs and slamming doors during meetings.
Back in the day I used to think Wirecard was a living example that you don't need a good tech stack or working enviroment to be a successful company.... oh boy was I wrong.
- magnuspaaske 4y agoIn many ways a toxic work environment seems great when committing fraud. People don't develop the kind of bonds that it would take for them to otherwise expose the fraud together and you have a lot of opportunities for misdirection
- angarg12 4y agoI was part of the Cards and Accounts Management team, and I never witnessed anything that would make me think of fraud. Sure, I saw some weird things, but not "billions of euros fraud" weird. I honestly doubt that anyone but a very few selected people were privy to what was happening there. For the rest of us it was just a dysfunctional-trying-to-be-cool "startup".
