Pros

* Mission driven - creating a lasting impact for immigrants and their families. * D&I - diverse at almost all seniorities. * Competitive pay with forward thinking hybrid and remote working policy. * Headphone and travel reimbursement, Udemy - many benefits to utilise. * Inspirational founder and CEO

Cons

* Unfortunately a COO who openly berates and singles out staff on calls, particularly women. I do not believe this will change. *I've been on the receiving end of many a micro-aggression at Remitly, but rarely do those responsible stop to reflect on their actions or even apologise. * Medical is just not good enough for fertility and gender affirmation. The provider needs to have been changed yesterday. Many folks have and will change companies (nearby) to get IVF fully covered by insurance.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad that you see we're mission-driven, diverse, and that we have favorable comp/benefits. It pains me to hear about your negative experiences at Remitly. Culture and values are amongst the most important things that Matt and I aligned on 11 years ago when we started the company together and I think deeply about them every day. As you know, our values are aspirational, meaning we are imperfect and growing to be better humans -- and that certainly applies to me too. I would welcome your constructively direct feedback in person or via email if you'd like to continue the conversation. I wish you all the best as you continue your career.

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.
