Pros

Colleagues are fantastic. A lot of them are brilliant. Has the potential to be a fantastic company from both a financial & cultural success perspective. But it feels like that’s drifting further & further away.

Cons

- awful work life balance. Expected to be available all hours, on weekends & on leave (sick & annual). And not “available in an emergency”. Like fully available. For BAU, because the business is so thinly spread. It’s not worth it. You can see the potential but it’s just not being realised. More & more good people are leaving.

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.
