Pros

Some good people with good intentions are trying to fix this place but those people have no influence on the direction of the company.

Cons

Be careful of the fake 5 star reviews. I suspect these were added by HR or the senior leadership. This is really a Chinese company, not Australian. The majority of the engineering workforce is based in Shanghai. The CTO and other early engineers based in Shanghai have very low standards. They often take shortcuts and leave a mess behind for others clean up. Please do a quick search on LinkedIn before deciding to join Airwallex to see how long on average employees last in this company. I bet it won't look promising. If the above is not enough for you, continue reading: - Toxic culture that's largely dominated by non-technical managers. Engineers are treated second class without a doubt - Uninspiring senior and executive leadership which micro-manages everyone - Company culture is incompatible with western and Australian values - The standard for the engineering practices is the lowest I have seen and I worked for several successful startups in the past. - Because the company is dominated by Chinese work culture, expect to be measured by a standard that you won't like

Pros

nothing? Fine... Perhaps the fake impression that they are a cool company. And... Getting current employees to leave good reviews of the firm and make everything look rosy.

Cons

- Terribly rude CEO and management. - Shady and high risk business decisions made. If you are interviewing for compliance role, it is best you walk away now. The turnover for compliance team is crazy and if you are smart enough, you will know why. - Stop managing people by fear. Stop making people feel stupid by screaming at them and treating them like slaves. Then again, if you are white, probably life won't be as bad. - Stop hiring a bunch of no experience and knows nothing about fintech strategy people to determine the future of the company. What is the point of hiring someone with consulting background with no relevant experience. - if you are reading this as a interview candidate, my one and only suggestion to you is Don't Join. There's just too many cons.. don't look at the 5 star reviews cause they are Mostly fake. Look at the 1 or 2 stars. Sincere advice and for your own good.
