Pros

- Company is growing - There are a handful of smart, hard working colleagues

Cons

- Shocking culture that doesn't look like changing - Turnover is REALLY high. Lots of people come and go before hitting probation - Exec team is absolutely spineless. No one stands up to the CEO who is the root cause of the cultural concerns. The leadership team and people who have a say are almost all men - Benefits are non existent - No one owns mistakes or endeavours to improve It's really sad as the business has potential but I fear Airwallex's culture is too far gone - which was also highlighted when the Head of HR left after 2 months. Avoid, it is as simple as that.

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.
