Pros

I enjoy the technical challenges, when we develop the system to the next level, which is more scalable and defined for long-term, we need to find a way to make sure the transition is smooth. Especially with rapidly growing volume, it's critical to identify system bottlenecks quickly and design scalable solutions for both the short and long term. At the same time, we also need to develop new valuable features for our users. I definitely learnt how to do prioritisation and keep a good balance between these. Also, I quite like the lunch tradition, there are 1-2 good places we will grab food from, it becomes a routine now we go there together 3 days a week. By the way, you can also work remotely for 1 month every year.

Cons

I feel some of the user-facing product don't have sufficient data points to support our decisions, the trackers are not organised very well.

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.
