      Pros

      The people at Remitly are smart, dedicated, genuinely care about each other and our customers, and believe in the common mission. Everyone is willing to roll up their sleeves for the larger goal, and everyone is invested in each others success. There's little to no friction between teams, everyone is eager to work together, but are also respectful and understanding of each other.

      Cons

      Remitly hasn't met an acronym that it doesn't like, and certain acronyms can mean multiple things across several teams. Efforts are being made to make the learning curve and the common vocabulary more accessible.

      I’m glad that you’re finding that Remitly team members are “smart, dedicated, genuinely care about each other” – that’s our goal! As I hope you know, I care a ton about culture and always want to continually improve so if there is anything that we can do better then I’m always open to hearing it. TTYS* Matt *A little acronym joke here ;). You’re totally right … there are a lot of acronyms here … and it’s good feedback that we could improve the training and usage around these. I was actually just chatting with our HR team about how to teach these in a fun and engaging way during onboarding … hopefully it will help. Good feedback. Thanks!

      Pros

      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.

      Pros

      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.
