Pros

I’ve been at Airwallex for over 5 years, and it’s been a really solid experience for me. I joined as an engineer and got promoted pretty quickly into a lead role, so I’ve always felt that strong performance is noticed here. The best part has probably been the growth. I’ve had a lot of chances to take ownership, work on interesting problems, and learn from smart people around me. If you’re someone who likes moving fast and taking initiative, there’s a lot of opportunity here. It’s not perfect, but I’ve genuinely grown a lot both as an engineer and as a leader during my time here.

Cons

Things move quickly, and priorities can shift, so it helps to be comfortable with change.

Pros

Good comp and lunch provided via forkable.

Cons

Insanely high number of voluntary resignations, poor work/life balance and progress is slowed due to the concentration of key decision makers based in APAC who work with teams within the United States and EMEA.
