Pros

I’ve been at Airwallex for over 5 years, and it’s been a really solid experience for me. I joined as an engineer and got promoted pretty quickly into a lead role, so I’ve always felt that strong performance is noticed here. The best part has probably been the growth. I’ve had a lot of chances to take ownership, work on interesting problems, and learn from smart people around me. If you’re someone who likes moving fast and taking initiative, there’s a lot of opportunity here. It’s not perfect, but I’ve genuinely grown a lot both as an engineer and as a leader during my time here.

Cons

Things move quickly, and priorities can shift, so it helps to be comfortable with change.

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.
