Pros

Truly values led and mission driven organization out to improve the world Maniacal focus on the customer Global - I work with awesome people all over the world The people I work with are truly awesome human beings and so supportive of each other and the mission Long term strategy with patient leaders focused on long term value creation Founder led

Cons

Not a true con but a reality - It is a start up moving and growing very fast and there is a lot to improve and do - this means prioritizing your work is critical and you will need to work hard - building great things is not easy so be prepared to work hard. Sometimes we are probably too nice and could push on performance more.

Thank you for your feedback! I am so glad that you're experiencing that we're a values-led and mission driven organization -- and that you see we're focused on the long term. That all resonates with me as well! And I also agree that we have opportunity to improve our HR processes, tools, and standards as we grow -- I know that's a key focus area for our People team. I also completely agree with your advice around the 'reality' of a fast growing business. Thank you for your leadership and for being part of the team!

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.
