      Pros

      Huge corporate growth potential, tons of opportunities in the remittance sector. One of the hottest startups in Seattle right now, near the top of most rankings. Remitly's building a world-class FinTech platform that can move money across continents in minutes. Technically sound but always looking for more top contributors. Great finances. Company cultural values help define choices which leads to better decisions. Collaborative environment, agile, with improving infrastructure. Diversity/Inclusion is a priority, not just a buzzword.

      Cons

      A lot of kludgy code built for a much smaller operation holds up progress. Many independent teams without much coordination between them. No yearly bonus or matching 401K, med benefits mediocre.

      Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I really appreciate it and the points that you make about our growth trajectory, culture, world-class fintech platform, and great finances all ring true. I'm glad they resonate with you as well. We do have work to do to scale our system so I appreciate you pointing that out. I'm also glad you mentioned benefits as this is something that the HR team is in the process of updating. I'm happy you're part of the team and thanks again for caring about our company / leaving your thoughts.

      Pros

      AI Native from first principles. Colleagues are strong and collaborative; this is the most consistent positive across teams. The mission is concrete: moving cross-border money for people supporting families. It informs prioritization and trade-offs. Scope and responsibility are available early to people who take them. Compensation and benefits are great. The company has a defined strategic direction under new CEO Sebastian Gunningham and is executing against it. Exciting time to be here.

      Cons

      Big org changes as the company reinvent, not for everyone.

      Pros

      The company started off to be great when I joined a few years back. Lots of hands on opportunities, some great people to work with. Benefits are good, people are valued and contributions are seen.

      Cons

      The company really started to go downhills in 2024 when there are constant leadership changes, mission changes, priorities changes and team orgs. Business Managers are starting to act like the "decision-maker" over pretty much all product and marketing decisions. We start to question if the direction we are focusing on is even right. Is it customer-centric still or is it more business-oriented. work life balance is bad stress is high people are no longer valued, heard or seen you know a company is going in a negative direction when you start to see tenured employees to leave, smart people to leave as well.
