Pros

Clean product and user friendly API coding compared to competition

Cons

The company is heavily plagued with politics and there are some pretty serious loopholes in compliance. The CEO and senior management has no respect to their employees and lacks the experience to manage a company with presence outside China resulting in an extremely toxic working environment.

Thank you for your positive feedback on our product. Given you are no longer a current employee of Airwallex and we are unable to gain context around your comments regarding politics, that piece of feedback can be difficult to address. However, we can confidently say that our compliance team works diligently to ensure our processes meet the highest standards. Airwallex is an Australian-born company and Australia's fastest growing fintech. Our management team is very proud of our growing team in Australia, as well as in overseas offices. We aim to foster an environment of respect for our entire team and are saddened if you did not feel this was reflected in your experience.

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.
