      Pros

      - Inspiring vision and mission. - Fast growth startup.

      Cons

      -The company does an abysmal job of hiring and developing diverse candidates. The leadership talks significantly about being 'proponents of diversity and inclusion,' but their actions hinder the progress of diverse employees. - Since the C level executives and managers are mostly men, mansplaining their direct reports come as second nature. It is indeed a frat boys club as mentioned by other reviewers. It is infuriating to witness one's credibility to be questioned daily. Makes you sincerely self doubt your expertise. - It is painful to see how little the leadership cares and does about the known gender pay gap.

      Thank you so much for sharing this feedback. It was painful to read and I'm sorry that you had this experience at Remitly. I care about you as well as Remitly becoming an even more diverse and inclusive workforce, which is why it has been and will continue to be one of our top priorities. I'm pleased that we did transition our Exec Team to be 100% Remitlians that identify as men to 43% people who identify as female and we recently opened a role to hire a senior full time D&I leader to support this work. These are of course just a few steps but D&I is definitely a focus area for me and for the company. I'm sad to hear that you left Remitly. If you'd ever be open to meeting with me so I can learn more, I would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your experience and perspective.

      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.
