Pros

Flexibility and supportive teammates that are working together to truly help immigrants sending money home. Great people overall.

Cons

Can be political in some teams. Career opportunity is subjective, hard to navigate if you are not friended with the right people.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. I'm glad that you found Remitly a great place to work -- that you appreciated our amazing team and that you saw we are all working together to accomplish our Vision. I also appreciate you sharing what we can do to continuously improve. I'm sorry that you found things to be 'political' - I am looking into what happened in your specific instance so we can learn from it and do better. I also appreciate your advice on growing talent internally instead of hiring externally and we'll certainly strive to do that whenever possible. Thanks again for taking the time to leave feedback and for all that you did at Remitly to contribute to our company and (most importantly) customers.

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.
