Pros

A company with a mission that isn't just marketing. It's real. The culture is not just a bunch of words in a list. It is authentically lived. The C-level and extended leadership team is (mostly) amazing, which is rare. The company's high growth has been a joy to impact and watch.

Cons

Comp and benefits are not where they should be given the size of the company.

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! And for being a great member of the team. I especially appreciated your feedback that we are "A company with a mission that isn't just marketing. It's real." and "The culture is not just a bunch of words in a list. It is authentically lived." These are definitely genuine and authentic focus areas for us. We'll also continue to make sure that we're looking at comp/benefits as we continue to scale -- appreciate you sharing that feedback. So happy that you're part of the team!

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.
