Who Is Wrike and Our Culture

Hybrid work mode

Wrike is our people, not a place.

While flexibility looks different across teams and regions, employees located near certain hubs - particularly in Prague (CZ), Nicosia (CY), Bangalore (IN), and Rennes (FR) - are generally expected to collaborate in person around 2-3 days per week, balancing the flexibility of distributed work with opportunities for in-person collaboration and connection.
