Pros

There aren’t any pros to share in the last couple years really. Happy to have left! The only thing I can share is the “basic” employees (non-managers) are awesome for the most part. It’s a shame they aren’t able to just do their job.

Cons

The best people have left and been replaced by corporate Amazon who have no clue how to lead. There’s a reason Amazon got rid of them! Zero communication and being on the same page from director level and above. If the “lower” level employees were allowed to just do their job, so much would be able to be accomplished. Leadership shoves values down your throat but themselves live up to none of them. Review process is biased and skewed to only reward those who talk a lot but don’t produce (as another reviewer previously mentioned). You’ll never get anything across the finish line here because management has too many hands in the pot and will never agree on anything. If you need extra proof… take a look at the stock!

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.
