AI Native from first principles. Colleagues are strong and collaborative; this is the most consistent positive across teams. The mission is concrete: moving cross-border money for people supporting families. It informs prioritization and trade-offs. Scope and responsibility are available early to people who take them. Compensation and benefits are great. The company has a defined strategic direction under new CEO Sebastian Gunningham and is executing against it. Exciting time to be here.
Cons
Big org changes as the company reinvent, not for everyone.
The company started off to be great when I joined a few years back.
Lots of hands on opportunities, some great people to work with. Benefits are good, people are valued and contributions are seen.
Cons
The company really started to go downhills in 2024 when there are constant leadership changes, mission changes, priorities changes and team orgs. Business Managers are starting to act like the "decision-maker" over pretty much all product and marketing decisions. We start to question if the direction we are focusing on is even right. Is it customer-centric still or is it more business-oriented.
work life balance is bad
stress is high
people are no longer valued, heard or seen
you know a company is going in a negative direction when you start to see tenured employees to leave, smart people to leave as well.
