Pros

Startup. So if you like crowded floors, open space ""collaborative"", noisy environment, with the illusion you'll say something and people will listen, this is definitely for you.

Cons

Benefits suck. It is a total boys club. Have you heard of the silicon valley crisis regarding startups and the tech industry in general? Well, you don't have to go to the bay area to get a first hand experience. Remitly is the representation of frat/boys club startups in the pacific northwest. Forget about career advancement. Be ready for strategy changes every week.

Thank you for your feedback. While it is very painful for me to read, I care a lot about you and your experience at Remitly. I don’t want to build a boys club. Diversity in gender, race, religion, are both personal and company goals. Remitly takes this journey seriously and has proactively hired women into 44% of our engineering and technical roles over the past year. We will remain committed to this goal as we continue to grow. While we always test and try new tactics every week, our mission has and will always be the same, to tirelessly deliver on our promise to immigrants sending money across the world. Finally -- I would really value an in person conversation with you about these issues so I can fully understand your thoughts and make sure you are being heard. Can you email me / contact me directly so we can setup a time to speak?

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.
