Pros

* I never thought that I would find a fintech company that has such a strong and positive values and mission, that are not fake or phony. * Customer Centricity at it's best! * Strong, honest and skilful leadership that drives this company to success * Strong set of values and extensive recruitment process focused on it, resulted in wonderful group of individuals that is a real joy to work with -in all locations * Absolutely successful in terms of business

Cons

* At first glance, number of company values creates an illusion that it has to be fake and just for show. That is not the case though! * Company focused on business success more in the first years (which was probably the best possible decision) and there is a lot of engineering shortcomings that needs to be addressed currently * It is a global company, so it simply can't be a 9-5 type of work.

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.
