Pros

Remitly takes it's Cultural Values to heart. One example that I see every day is "Continuously Improving": improving the product for our customers, improving the business, improving our technical systems and operational excellence, and striving to learn and grow as individuals. The opportunities feel extremely open, and this is a culture where—if you're willing to—you're always able to be part of the solution. Overall it's a very passionate, hard-working environment—we believe in our mission of supporting migrants around the world and believe in the future of the business.

Cons

It's a very fast-paced environment. Every quarter tends to present new opportunities and also new problems to solve. While exciting, this can also be tiring.

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.
