Cons

A lot. Change management needs a lot of improvement. Communication from compliance needs improvement. Doesn't maximize potential and skills of employees. process wise - needs a lot of improvement. I really don't recommend working here, skills and potential employees are not recognized. Training team really needs a lot of improvement, from trainee to traning materials. Managment doesn't hire the correct leaders.

Pros

* High growth * incredible potential for career acceleration and learning * good compensation * good technology * beyond nice and beyond hardworking people (cannot overstate either of these) * interesting and challenging work

Cons

* awful work-life balance * long hours plus lots of late nights plus long weekends plus overworked and stressed coworkers = a subpar place of employment if you chose to work to live (vs live to work) * growing pains * staffing issues * overly conservative COVID policies * seemingly impulsive and high-risk decision making made at high levels * cult-like culture that worships at the altar of Remitly. You're not all that. Tone down the self praise and truly work on improving the employee experience

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback. I'm sorry to hear about your experience at Remitly and I'd love to learn more. I see that you've been with the company for less than a year so it doesn't look like we've met but, if you're open to it, I'd really like to meet you so I can openly listen and learn from your experience. If you're open to it, please feel free to send me an email or slack. If you'd rather remain anonymous, I respect that and we have an amazing HR team who I know will listen carefully to your thoughts/feedback so we can learn from them. Thanks for being part of the team and for your contributions to our customers.
