Pros

Managers understand that employees are the most valuable asset to the company and treat them appropriately We striving to improve the life of immigrants in the US by providing the best service at the lowest price. We are breaking the monopoly of money transfers companies who charge ridiculous fees and it really feels like you are making the world a better place here Management proactively works to improve quality of work environment We work within an agile environment and have the capability to structure our process in a way that works for us good work life balance The company has been growing a lot, but it still feels like a smaller company. For example the CEO is on a first name basis with everyone. Previous reviews seem outdated and inaccurate. Our IT department is now a top notch outfit and engineers all work on a newly renovated floor with high celiings and lots of light. Mid level management strives to shield engineers from extra fluff so we can focus on work

Cons

need more paid vacation days could use an upgrade on the free food (too much hydrogenated/palm oil). Could use more fresh items stocked regularly no 401k matching policy
