Pros

100% mission driven, Remitly is build around its mission to serve immigrants around the world and this impacts every decision. - The people, Remilty is filled with some of the most talented, knowledgable, and caring people I have ever worked with. I am inspired by the work of my fellow employees, challenged to push myself, and really love working with everyone in the company. Culture - Remitly is very intentional on its culture and it shows. They live and breathe their values everyday and if these values align with you as a person there is really no better place to be than Remitly. This culture is created from the Founders of the company and it is felt throughout each person. Many companies can have culture engrained in the highest levels but it is rare to find a place where from intern to CEO everyone is truly bought into the culture and mission. - Leadership. Remitly is truly lead by an amazing group of leaders. The C-suite while not perfect are really truly focused on serving our customers and empowering their teams to grow and learn. It is not just about the bottom line, but making sure every person who works at Remitly is supported and encouraged to grow. I feel very confident in the future of this company because of the leadership.

Cons

You will be challenged when you work at Remitly. Challenged to grow, challenged with hard tasks, challenged to think differently. This may not be for everyone, but this is what makes Remitly special. - Very senior level driven company, junior level employees can learn a lot, but may not be involved in decision making. Not a true negative but junior level people should be aware. You must be comfortable or learn to speak up in order for input to be added.

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.
