Pros

- Smart and amazing colleagues - High base salary - Pretty comprehensive health insurance

Cons

- Pretty much zero work life balance - Poor employee retention as there's no job satisfaction - Zero employee benefits and poor bonuses (a rating of 4/5 nets you less than 1 month salary) - Incompetent management who are basically just yes men and lacking in foresight as well as the ability to plan - Rushing blindly to achieve "targets" only to be rewarded with a myriad of problems due to poor foundations - Company believes in a super lean structure and hires a ton of managers who are basically ICs (resulting in a diamond shaped structure resulting in an unproportional work load)

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.
