Pros

- Great growth opportunities for high performers - Can't speak for all functions but commercial leaders are strong and genuinely acting in the interests of their teams and long term company objectives - Flexible working arrangements and responded well to Covid - I think senior leadership is slowly improving and making the necessary changes as the company grows to 600+ employees

Cons

- New starters should probably not expect to be working 9-5 in the current stage of the company. Hopefully in the future there are more flexible work options but unlikely to be an option in the medium term whilst demands and pressure is high - Constant changes: if you're not adaptable and uncertainty makes you uncomfortable, then probably not the right fit. It's a company that is changing at a very rapid pace to keep up with its ambitious vision. If you are able to cope well with change, then this will create opportunities as you demonstrate your ability to work tackle various challenges.

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.
