Worst company I've ever worked for

Pros

- If you want to work crazy hours and have no life you'll be able to progress your career here

Cons

- Micromanagement at its absolute worst. You aren't trusted to make a single decision unless the CEO signs off on it. - It's massively a boys club - Incredibly sexist company - You won't get promoted unless the CEO agrees to it - High-pressure environment for very little reward - Zero work-life balance, the expectations are incredibly unrealistic - Everyone is burnt out - Toxic culture of throwing each other under the bus - Incredibly unprofessional work environment If I could give zero stars I would. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone as a good place to work.

Thank for your review. We are disappointed to read that you have had a negative experience and will feedback the themes you have highlighted to our Leadership Group. We are proud to have been co-founded by Lucy Liu and to feature so many women within our executive team. Gender diversity remains an ongoing focus and we are making progress with over 40% of our global workforce being female-identifying - this is strong representation when compared with other similar companies. We understand the importance of continuing to strive for improvement in our diversity across all areas. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Pros

Airwallex is in an extremely exciting industry. The sky is the limit with regards to growth and everyday provides a new challenge. Your role at Airwallex will truly have an impact on the growth of the company. If you have an idea for a new product or strategy the leadership team is always open to hearing about it.

Cons

Working at a hyper growth company isn’t for everyone. If you are looking for a clearly defined role, Airwallex might not be the best fit for you. With each day comes a new challenge and you will need to be able to wear multiple hats.
