Pros

Remote/hybrid work options, customer-centric mission, interesting work, reasonable hours, competitive pay, fun office environment, weekly lunches, verbal recognition of good work

Cons

The company markets a mission of serving immigrants but ironically the leadership is comprised mainly of white men and women who seem to discriminate against workers of color. There has been an exodus of minority talent and the company won’t release attrition data by gender/race. Steer clear if you are a woman of color and want to keep your mental health intact.

Remitly Response

Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad that you appreciated our customer centric mission and culture. Overall though, I’m sorry to hear that you’re no longer with the company and that your experience at Remitly was not positive. I care deeply about fostering an equitable workplace where diverse talent thrives and every Remitlian feels recognized and included. It’s an ongoing journey that we are committed to, and we will continue to invest in our DEI initiatives like affinity groups and related employee resources and training, as well as continuously improve our capabilities around voluntary self-ID and reporting to help us better understand how we can support varied lived experiences and identities of our teammates. I will take your feedback to heart that we still have work to do. Thank you again for sharing and for your contributions to Remitly during your three years with the company.
