      Pros

      - You will be stretched - You will learn the right way and wrong way to be "data driven" - People are competitive and want to win - They're getting better at teamwork - For the most part, people truly care about the customer and about fostering a positive work culture If you are junior and want to grow, this is the place.

      Cons

      - There will be politics - There are some big egos in the room and strange power dynamics with certain individuals - The team can't balance "sweat the details" and just getting stuff done quickly - They are generous promoting outsiders but stingy promoting their own homegrown talent

      Thanks so much for your note and feedback and for your contributions to Remitly over +5 years (more than half the time the company has been in existence!). I'm glad you grew while you were here, that you saw us live our Data Driven value, and that you feel that people care about the customer and fostering a positive work culture. I'm sorry to hear that you felt there were politics and that you felt that we were stingy in promoting homegrown talent. It's always a balance between internal and external talent when the business is growing so fast but our goal is always to develop and promote homegrown talent and I'll reflect on your feedback. Thank you also for your advice to management, especially ... "Truly determine "who" did what. If you attribute that correctly, you will build upon the right places." I think that is key to make sure that we create a non-political environment. Thanks again for sharing your feedback and for all of your contributions to Remitly. You had a huge impact during your tenure here.

      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.
