Pros

A lot of fun with Kotlin as well as other cutting edge technologies in payment domain.

Cons

These are the points based on my experience in Amsterdam office. Some of them doesn’t work for the whole company wide I believe: - empowering engineers is not a priority at all - engineer’s career pathway is not important for managers or at least I didn't see any serious attention - managers are happy with their harsh gigs even though sometimes they clearly see that this gigs are disrespectful to others. - inexperienced and meanwhile arrogant managers - poor english and soft skills, particularly when your are working with your peers in other regions. Hence there will be a lot of misunderstandings and ambiguities in your professional career - Hasty decisions which leads to a lot of changing in plannings as well as team arrangement.

Pros

High autonomy and agency. As a senior IC I have leadership's trust in driving my work, engaging with partner executives and generating new ideas and partnerships. Clear line of sight into how my work positively impacts the company. I can draw the line between my effort and that enabling a small or large part of our success. Diverse product and partner work. I work with large and small partners and across our entire product offering, which keeps my day to day fresh and diverse. Great people, all hard working, smart and well credentialed.

Cons

Global team makes for frequent night time calls, if something can't be handled over Slack. Hard driving. There's lots to do and big ambitions, so everyone is spread thin working on high priority/impact projects.

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.
