Pros

Good place to grow. A lot of opportunity for individual growth. Friendly environment despite being 100% remote. Feels like a family.

Cons

Project management needs to improve. Tends to be a reactive culture rather than responsive or being well prepared. Localised Salary not fair as manager do not only manage local members of staff but international.

We appreciate you for taking the time to review your work at Sendwave! We work hard to help our team grow through promoting from within and investing in professional development. Sendwave has recently been experiencing rapid growth and it’s true that we’ve shifted priorities quickly— we’re hopeful that as time goes on, we can be more intentional as we make changes. Thank you for the feedback about managing international teams under our localized compensation policy. Sendwave’s mission is to make spending money affordable for users, and compensation cost is a big part of our operating expenses. Wages vary greatly between geographies and paying everyone the same would force us to raise our rates for users. Salaries will remain localized for the near future, but we will continuously review compensation scales to attract and retain top talent.

Pros

- Mission Driven team focussed on delivering access to fast and affordable transfers for the global diaspora. - 100% Remote Workspace with Quarterly Retreats. - Competitive Compensation + Vacation Allowances. - Culture of transparent and collaborative work processes that stretch cross functionally. I've worked with Sendwave for just over a year now after leaving my last job with a large bank in Canada. The culture and vibe at Sendwave is completely different and lacks the bureaucratic and laggy norms that plagued my last job. Every project completed comes with a sense of really contributing in building out the company and project. The people are fantastic, warm and open and onboarding to the team last year was an incredibly easy process compared to how intimidating other processes have been in the past.

Cons

Working Remotely is a catch-22, and while largely a fun task - more could be done to make the day to day more collaborative than independent.

Thank you for taking the time to review your work experience with Sendwave. We do pride ourselves on how we live our mission and put our users first, and the ways we reward our employees for their hard work. We are continuing to work on ways of connecting our remote teams beyond our quarterly in-person retreats, by rolling out initiatives like our video happy hours and wellness initiatives, including team meditations. We’ll keep experimenting to find methods of keeping our teams close.

Pros

Actually providing effective money transfer solutions that benefit many many people. Remote working - as I'm personally not a fan of 9-5 desk jobs. An amazing group of people who are always available to offer any help. Great culture - inclusive, accepting and always honest. Excellent benefits.

Cons

PS - have been with the company for less than a year but Glassdoor doesn't provide an option for a length of employment less than a year.
