Pros

Salary is higher than market to attract talents.

Cons

Expects you to work like a slave, give sky high targets and micromanages. Turnover rate is superbly high, you can be away for a month and you'll feel like you're in a new office with new colleagues.

Thank you for your candid feedback. While we’re glad our compensation is seen as competitive, the experience you described does not reflect the supportive, high-performing culture we are committed to building. A fast pace should be challenging, though never at the expense of our team's stability and trust. To that end, we set clear expectations for our leaders to provide coaching, clarity, and meaningful support. Tools like our OKR framework and globally run manager training programs are specifically designed to help our teams operate with greater confidence and autonomy. We also agree that grooming talent is essential. Retaining and developing our people is a top priority, which is why we use employee feedback to continuously improve our management training and internal mobility programs. High turnover is not the goal; long-term growth is. We are dedicated to creating an environment where our team can thrive and build their careers.

Pros

Working at Airwallex has been an incredibly rewarding experience, especially as part of the sales team. The company is in a very strong growth phase, which makes it an exciting place to be. Over the past few years, Airwallex has scaled rapidly, processing hundreds of billions in payments annually. There are clear career progression opportunities if you perform. Leadership is supportive of internal mobility, and high performers are recognized and promoted. You’re surrounded by smart, driven colleagues who are collaborative and willing to help, which creates a motivating environment day to day.

Cons

Like most high-growth companies, things can move fast and change quickly, which may not suit everyone. There can be pressure to perform given the pace and ambition of the company.
