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The best people have left and been replaced by corporate Amazon who have no clue how to lead.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

Used to be a good company with empathy and compassion for the team

Cons

1. New leadership doesn't understand that Remitly is not FAANG yet 2. Lack of clarity on goals and expectations 3. Grudges are kept and there no longer exists any empathy 4. You are discouraged from saying the right thing and no opportunity is provided to present the case and why it matters
