Pros

The community of ex-employees who relate to your experience

Cons

I made the mistake of thinking that Glassdoor reviews were full of people wanting to air their grievances. Unfortunately I've experienced everything that has been written here and more. Company culture is defined by bullying and nepotism. "Growing pains" is thrown around here a lot, but when there's been 2 years of the same feedback and nothing has changed, it's clear there's no effort put in to improving culture. Turnover of staff is high which is pretty telling. People join not knowing they will put in hard work for little reward and later realise they will be treated much better somewhere else. If you ask anyone who leaves, they will give you the same reason about why they're leaving.

Thank you for your review. Obviously your experience at Airwallex is not one that we are aiming for. We have recently implemented a global engagement tool and will be reviewing the feedback and formalising a list of priorities that will touch on many areas in your feedback. As you are a current employee, I'd strongly encourage you to share your feedback with the executive team. Thank you again

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.
