Pros

Pay A few good people to make up for all the crazies

Cons

Unrealistic workloads, majorly understaffed, lots of burnout Leadership lacking - finger pointing between leaders, endless shifting priorities, chasing metrics for optics rather than actual benefit to the business Everyone for themselves - very little camaraderie between teams, lots of favoritism to a handful of "yes men" Development - lots of "experienced" middle management being hired, front line managers have it the worst dealing with unrealistic leadership expectations Consistently bad hiring because of a refusal to admit this is a difficult place to work and being honest with new hires on the support/resources they'll have (aka none) and the challenges of this culture/way of working

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.
