Pros

Free coffee and snacks Office it's in city center

Cons

Remitly is a company where every manager and HR will lie to you and then will tell you that there was miscomunication and that it was you who understood things differently. Is also a company where it doesn't matter that you don't have the appropiate skills or minimum knowledge to be a manager. You already did an interview and got the position. You've won the lottery. They are firing people who spoke up and didn't settle for unfairness. So goodbye freedom! Internal promotion will be now impossible . They have approved something called secondments. Which basically is that a manager selects someone that they like to make a temporary job. Which also means that this temporary job was not public to everyone and lets the rest of the office without opportunities to appy. Hard work doesn't pay off. Core values are just values to learn to pass the interview.

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.
