Pros

Great business branding, good product

Cons

The past 2 global heads of people left after 6 months and 2 months respectively - huge red flag right there. In my own team, the manager often passes down the stress from the top, as a result it feels like I'm constantly walking on eggshells every single day at work. There's pressure on the newbie to look all hyped up and enthusiastic, but my advice in case you do join us that you'll have a better chance at surviving if you find the right people to commiserate with. If you look carefully at the recent article on Airwallex blog from the CEO about attracting and retaining talent, 7 out of 10 paragraphs are just money money money, and the remaining 3 are fluff about making an impact - but make no mistake, once you join you're just another dispensable cog who won't get much in terms of recognition or respect. Just hold on to the money and hope that's enough! Don't join this company if you're looking to be treated with a little respect or if you're looking for more than just decent compensation.

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.
