Pros

I loved working alongside the people in my team and generally felt supported by my immediate coworkers.

Cons

At the end of the day I just ended up not being a good fit at that point in time. During my time at Airwallex I was struggling with undiagnosed adhd, and trying to function at a neurotypical level without the support of medication or specialists led to severe depression and anxiety in an effort to prove that I was worth having around. I'd like to be clear that with me being unaware of my disorder there was no possible way that they could support me in the ways that were needed. But I'm sure if I had been diagnosed, and they were aware, that they would do what they could to support me as the one thing that I've remembered in the years since is the lovely people I had the pleasure of working with.

Great at selling the dream, but reality is it's not

Pros

- Get to work with some great people who are genuinely smart - Very fast paced, will get to work on range of projects with high exposure early on - High growth company, product with potential

Cons

- Horrific culture built based on a Chinese way of working - Work life balance is not promoted but rather condemned, while no explicit expectation to work long hours, if you seriously want to have a life out of work, you will not be given progression opportunities or any recognition. - Senior leadership are toxic in approach, all decisions need to have CEO level approval. No trust for the people that he hires, needs to have oversight on every single thing. No one is able to really stand up to him. - Turnover is extremely high, you will see messages of people being welcomed and a deactivated slack profile not much later. If they have not left yet, they will be seriously burnt out. - Seem to have no real progress/plan on people and culture, they hired a new Global Head of People and Global Head of Talent from Google, however both have left after only a few months. (speaks volumes) - Diversity and inclusion is non existent, no initiatives to improve this and people seem to come from the same companies and backrounds. - Communication from senior leadership is horrific, have seen countless people get slandered in public forums
