> they do have a very noble goal

LOL

they ain't no charity, their goal is to make $$$, period. Incidentally they do so in a way that is also good for their customers, but that's nothing more than a nice coincidence.

We're all grown ups, I don't need to be sugar coated with all the "we're making the world a better place" nonsense. But no, these people want you to believe in their damn dream, as if working 5 days a week to make them rich wasn't enough already. That's true for many companies out there, not just TransferWise.

Also, mocking former candidates because they aren't cool enough is objectively a shit culture in my book, eh.




well I am as a rule also cynical regarding the motives of businesses, but one thing I have observed is that some people seem to create and pursue businesses that are good for their customers as the central purpose of that business, and some do so as a nice coincidence if it happens. These guys can be the second, but might also be the first.
