Pros

There are a lot of suffering engineers so we formed a group that has each other's shoulders

Cons

Haven't you read enough? Absolutely no career growth with below industry standard pay. Work work balancer. Feels like working in a sweatshop for IT. I just quit. CEO was told to not micromanage by board of directors. Lol.

Thank you for your feedback. As you have stated you are a current employee, I would welcome a catch up before you leave the business so that we can talk through your reasons as, in talking with team leads, we haven’t had this specific feedback relayed to us in recent exit conversations. Please feel free to chat with me when I am in the office this week. Alternatively, I am sure you are aware there is an anonymous feedback box in the office, you can write to me directly there.

Pros

Working at Airwallex has been an incredibly rewarding experience, especially as part of the sales team. The company is in a very strong growth phase, which makes it an exciting place to be. Over the past few years, Airwallex has scaled rapidly, processing hundreds of billions in payments annually. There are clear career progression opportunities if you perform. Leadership is supportive of internal mobility, and high performers are recognized and promoted. You’re surrounded by smart, driven colleagues who are collaborative and willing to help, which creates a motivating environment day to day.

Cons

Like most high-growth companies, things can move fast and change quickly, which may not suit everyone. There can be pressure to perform given the pace and ambition of the company.
