Pros

Growing and healthy company; great culture; great mission; love what the people and the work

Cons

We're scaling fast and expanding globally so you can't expect all processes and support mechanisms to be perfect. We're not a big corporate work environment so be prepared to just make things work sometimes. Need to be prepared to build and create no matter what position you hold.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful post! I'm really happy that you're a key leader on the team and that you appreciate our culture, mission, and the people at Remitly. Thanks also for sharing that we are scaling fast (so true!) and that we're not a big corporate work environment so that folks need to come prepared to build and "Be an Owner" -- that's exactly right! I'm glad you enjoy doing that and I'm very grateful for your contributions -- both culturally and in your area of expertise.

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.
